I need to replace the bolt and nut that goes through the front bush on the wishbone (my bolt sheared on removal). I noticed the nut is mounted into a little metal bracket thing that presumably stops the nut from turning when tightening/slackening the bolt. But when I look on Servicebox, it lists a square nut (352255) which is NFP. Does anyone know if this is an updated version of what I have abd just does the same job? There are folk selling the square nut on ebay for silly amounts of money.

That's the one I saw. I thought it was pricey for what it is....one nut. Considering the bolt is only 3.12 from pug

Would be £4.33 anyway from Peugeot with the time/fuel needed to collect.

It's a best offer auction. Bid him a fiver and see what happens.

    I just made a deal with the seller of the eBay parts so got a little off. Still the most expensive nut and bolt I've ever bought.

    Does the square nut just sit in there and not move when you tighten the bolt up?

    p.s, I'd look into using the caged nut form the mk2 partner/berlingo vans, 3522 92.

    That sounds like the arrangement I took off and seem like a better solution to the square nut.

    The square nut was used on the earlier cars.

    Later Phase 3's came with a different style, although these have never been available from Pug and they would only supply you with the earlier square nuts, which you say are NLA.

    I'm guessing the ones I'm talking about are probably the ones fitted to the Partner etc. Yes
