Hi guys, the top mount on the passengers side is suspected faulty and needs changing. I decided since the suspension looks old (rears have GTI-6 written on with white paint) might as well change it while doing the mounts/bearings.

My plan is to replace the following for the Rallye -
B4 shocks all round from Kam racing
Front springs - part no 5002 P7 - found these on ebay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Coil-Springs-Pair-Set-Front-21025-Kilen-Suspension-5002P7-Quality-New/332032763699?epid=1050471185&hash=item4d4eb1e733:g:OKYAAOSwpP9Y6NWl
Top mounts and bearings - Garage to supply and fit

Now my questions are as follows -
I'v read people saying to use the ZX rear B4's on the 306, why is this?
Would the above springs be similar to genuine items or should I be getting fro the dealer (called several times, still not answered the phone....)
Is there anything else worth changing while the shocks are out?

I need to get the suspension done and then the engine top mount addressed (works loose), will then look at wishbones, track rod ends etc that might need doing as the car dosen't drive how she should. If these is anything I am missing please feel free to point it out I'm trying to keep the car standard so don't want lowering springs etc.

Pug springs it is then, when they pick up the phone....

Hard to put a finger on the issues as it were, but dosen't inspire an confidence when driving. So was going to start with what I know needs doing and go from there.

Did you mean the bushes on the wishbones?

You’ll struggle to get b4 front struts as only one side available till middle of February!

Am in process off doing complete suspension refresh on customers car, and front end parts of good quality are over £400

Good thing I'm not in a hurry !!! How do you rate teh B4's VS the genuine units?



I had read some had this issue, thought it was strange not everyone had the issue?!?



Thanks for the info

There where a quantity of b4 that had the bracket welded an inch or so to low
I have one set that is and one that isnt to get around the issue with the incorrect set i fitted eibach -30 and it sits quite well just under standard height
The last springs for my rallye i brought from pug cost 92 each

Good man to go to

However the captive nut is only held by a sprung shroud
Its not welded in

If the cup is cracked thats what youll need super davey for and his awsome fix kit

If its just a loose nut i believe you can buy a new one with clip

Good luck with all . All the same

Thanks for the info mocinim

Its been a twit since Iv had the caramd want to get it sorted once and for all and have the chocks done I'll be a bonus. I've refitted the Mount several yes and works its way loose again.

I have two sets of the 5206.k6 aquired at great cost for my rallyes
Thay(as you mention )are far superior to the new pish
Im think munroe may have been the original stock supplier to pug
Could be wrong
They do well any how

Found a list of 'interchange parts' for 5206 K6 at https://www.yoyopart.com/oem/6629858/peugeot-5206k6.html

Some are listed as 'direct' and some as 'indirect' - not sure what that means exactly. Some are Pug or Citroen OE parts. Would any of these be better than the Pug supercession? I ask because I ended up with the new replacement versions and never liked the idea even though I had no evidence. My reasoning was a supercession would not be done for reasons of improvement, but because the car is long out of production, Pug potentially losing interest in it etc.

Thanks Mei.



So Andy, in what sense are these supercession parts (that I've used on my Rallye with the reservations stated above) ''gash'' compared to the originals and what should I be using instead that is something directly equivalent to the 5206 K6 that I wanted in the first place? Even in 2013 (but only fitted them recently and had a turn around the block before going away again) when I bought them the Pug dealer could only find one of the originals.

OK, thanks, so am I correct in assuming the 5206 TE is similar to the original 5206 K6, and better than the latest skinny body revision?
