yes Peugeot will do them, which wishbone bolts are you after? inner pair or the one in the hub?

 

I've yet to find a motor factor locally that does suitable bolts (8.8 grade High tensile, preferably zinc passivated), though there is a fasteners stockist, which arent open on the weekend, DOH!

If you need the inner ones you'll be best to get a full wishbone bush kit from Peugeot as I bet it'll work put cheaper than just buying the bolts. (approx £14)

 

Part number for them is 3599.07 but the forward inner bolts which were originally shouldered / plain shank have been threaded all the way on the last few sets I've bought.

they should be ok though still shouldn't they, if they're fully threaded? Cheers for part num, i'll ring the muppets tmrw. Just hope nelson perrys get it right cos they are absolutaly useless.......

 

I once ordered a 1.9 clutch from there and when it came it was obviously the small size for a standard 205. I took a tape measure with me to check and told the guy why it wasn't the correct one.........he then proceeded to tell me to take it away and "just try it"!!!!!!!!! This was the second time that they had ordered the same clutch!! :)

Yeah, they'll still be Ok but I prefer the shouldered ones.

 

Don't forget to only fully tighten the inner bolts up when the car is back on its wheels (or wishbone angle same as if it were) to avoid inducing some twist in the bushes as soon as they are fitted, this causes them to wear faster, especially on non-oe bushes / wishbones.
