Just wondering if anyone can fill me in at all; I'm friends with a Peugeot tech since the early 90's and he was saying that the Xsara Picassos have a reinforced front subframe and also possibly a wider track. Anyone had any experience or info to back this up or shut it down? Because this would make taking corners a bit nicer possibly a little quieter aswell  |

no idea on the front track, but as they share the same/similar front end as a Berlingo and a 306 the subframe may well fit and be strengthened.Most of them have cast iron wishbones and stronger P-bushes, I would stick to the 306 wishbones personally, the 106 used cast ones and they're notorious for bending. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Just seeing if its worth while spending the time tracking one down, the negative camber would help my tires last a little longer. I'll keep up my research but if anyone else has an input I more than welcome it. |

if you fit one and it is wider you'd need to fit the picasso driveshafts too.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Interesting I've always presumed them to be the same I might have a measure of a Picasso later and my 6 to see if their same width if so then strengthened would be a bonus________________________________________ Black power baby!
