Genuine Pug P bushes are probably the best you will find I think, and to be fair they are very good.But have to be genuine ones! |

I've used Motaquip ones and so far they are perfectly fine and damned cheap, they are from the same factory as peugeot/citroen items, in my opinion more than good enough on the road.Genuine Citroen ones you want if you don't want something too harsh and want to get the 100% o.e stuff. (Peugeot don't list them separately) Then you have Peugeot Sport harder rubber ones, bit expensive from special tuning uk, probably cheaper direct from France ! Spoox sell some half decent looking ones that are an alloy P shape with a round rubber bush pressed into them, Then you have Rich's rigid roller bearing items. then above that there's tubular wishbones with rose joints, Rippthrough on here does them. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I am currently using them, and I can say is they transformed the handling of the car, it drives like its on rails now.  Makes the front end a lot lot stiffer, and just generally improves the overall package.
