Peugeot are now asking £95 EACH for the rear beam front bushes. My question is this, is there any company that makes a stiff or good quality bush suitable for a GTI6? Most manufacturers just make one bush for every 306, which will no doubt be more flexible than the GTI6 bush.

Can anybody recommend a manufacturer or motor factor to buy from? And before anyone suggests, I don't want solid mounts as I want to keep the cabin quiet.

Thanks

i know. it's so wrong!

but i've bought all 4 genuine peugeot bushes for the rear beam

from my experience, pattern parts may be a lot cheaper, but don't last as long

last thing you want is too much oversteer, when a pattern part mount tears apart

Makes my solid ones seem pretty reasonable.

306 ones aren't quite all the same, there are two part numbers for the front pair.

given that they tend to last 10 years plus, the price isn't that bad really.

Yeah the standard ones are about £65 each but are supposed to be flexier than the GTI6 versions. They may last 10 years, but £200 is a fifth of the value of the car!

Has anybody had experience with the Lemforder bushes? I think thats looking like the only alternative for me, £80 is a bit easier to justify.
