petesy71 0 Posted June 8, 2008 hi paul, theres a lot of info on this if you search a bit. if you can get a second hand one and refurb it yourself you'll limit the time the cars off the road. wurzel's guide on the main site is very good, 205gtidrivers (click articles,brakes and suspension,rear beam refurb guide). also found this to be very useful, adjusting rear torsion,and this, rear beam, amongst others. failing this if you search about there are people on here who will do the refurb for you, good luck, pete.

paulcoxon 0 Posted June 8, 2008 Cheers for the info guys. I suppose I should take the old one off first and see what state it's in ? I may even have a go at doing it myself. Looking at the how to doesnt look to hard. I take it the shafts need to be pressed into the arms ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted June 8, 2008 I take it the shafts need to be pressed into the arms ? Yes, you'll need access to a decent hydraukic press to get them out & replacement ones back in should you need them. They can take upwards of two tons to get them moving out of the radius arms.

Has anyone ever removed the castings on the cross tube itself before, I just refurbed a beam but didn't remove those?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M@tt 77 Posted June 9, 2008 castings don't need to be removed, the only thing on them is the spline holes to take the torsion bars, just make sure you clean the threads out well and grease properly when refitting and all will be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
