When I replaced mine I had no washer... Also once tight I had slight movement from side to side. That normal? |

probably smashed captive nut under the cradle, assuming the mount is alright. they are tough rubber though. i have seen a few with a big washer under them, my old xsi had one but i chucked it after getting the mount welded up properly and didn't have another problem________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

the buffers wear, this causes more stress on the mounting point which is only m12 into low quality steel. Eventually the metal fatigues and the mount or captive nut will break |

It could be to lift the mount up slightly so it aligns the engine position perfectly, however Peugeot would not have fitted it if there wasn't a need for it to be there... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

There is a chance it could just be a minor correction from the factory that some cars needed and others didn't. Say a batch of the chassis panels came out slightly out of shape, or the producers of the OEM mounts had a bat batch that were 5mm too short. Slap a penny washer in there, and Robert is shaggin yer father's sister. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

It's possible, but as far as I know the washer is listed on Servicebox for all phases. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
