Over the last couple of weeks the car's developed a bit of a squeak from the rear, and actually sits slightly lower on one side. Was quoted £300-£400 by the garage to fix it as it involves taking the suspension apart.

As I've got use of another car, my old man and I are, over the next few months, going to take it all apart and have look and replace bits that need doing.

What parts should we be looking at replacing whilst we do this, seals, bearings, bushes, etc.?

And any suggestions on best places to get parts from would be appreciated. Don't fancy having to pay Pug prices!

Thanks in advance.

pug prices aren't that high, and are much better quality than the not much cheaper motorfactor crap.

have a look at the FAQ for what's involved in sorting the ride height, replacing the bearings isn't much more work on top of that.

though if its squeaking and sitting lower on one side its likely you'll need to replace the shafts at least if not the crossmember as well.

shafts currently are about £100 a pair off ebay, crossmember you'd obtain any 306 beam to cannibalise for bits, you need a press to change the shafts.


where's sixville? LOL
