Hey guys,

thoroughly confused by all the conflicting information available about getting some arm replacements.

my balljoints and P bushes are shot, so i figured it would just be less hassle to just get new arms. However, I have encountered the mess of multiple part numbers and multiple ballpoint sizes...

Service box seems to suggest I need 3520H4 and 3521E4. from which i have deduced, I (think) need 18mm balljoints. therefore needing 18mm compatible arms?!

straight from Pug these are £160 each, with no balljoints. which, seems a bit much.

I have found, these from MOOG.
Marked as 3520H4 - https://www.autodoc.co.uk/moog/7435281

Marked as 3521E4 - https://www.autodoc.co.uk/moog/7435282 -Edit, went on MOOGs website and discovered this, the previous link was for a Citroen Van apparently...

They are marked as 18mm 'cone size' and are both around £45

dont think these come with balljoints, but i am totally fine with getting some £35 OEM ones from pug

Are these correct for my Rallye??
Can anyone enlighten me on why there are so many fecking 'compatible' arms with slightly different specs?!

Cheers guys,
Alex

the arms will be compatible with both 16mm and 18mm ball joints so no big issues there, you just need to get the right ball joints to suit your hubs.

if budget allows as jeffers said above try and stick with genuine parts but it won't be cheap. i am currently looking for parts for my HDi and have been looking at using the mister-auto website. i will be trying to stick to febi bilstein, lemforder, TRW myself. i think i read somewhere monroe is ok too as its oem peugeot stuff now.

remember to keep your old arms if they are originals as you can always replaces the bushes on them

Yes, i am trying to stay away from they Super cheap (£30!) chineseium clones. while i agree OEM is best, is it really £200 better??



Never heard anything bad about MOOG, but if Monroe are now the OEM for Pug, i will grab a set of those.
i noticed on service box the original parts are superceeded, i am assuming then by monroe units??

so just to confirm i am understanding correctly, the arms are 'universal' its just the actual ball joint you need to make sure is correct?? if thats the case then i'll just get some OEM joints.

edit - fixed the stupid quotes

urg! another layer of complication!! looks like from the pictures both MOOG and Monroe are riveted.
Found some Lemforder ones, but the Left side doesnt match the part number i have, but its only 1 part number away from the other arm (lemforder number)

Right: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lemforder/1251034 - Lemforder 17436 01
matches 3521E4

Left: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lemforder/1251031 - Lemforder 17435 01
Doesnt list 3520H4

But, funnily enough, ECP has a Left Lemforder arm that is 'compatible'

Recon those arms will work??
i actually only reaally need the right arm to be fair, so i wouldnt be too annoyed if i had to return the left.

Grand, just ordered them!

Ordered some geniune Peugeot Balljoints as they werent that much more expensive and i needed a couple other things too

Cheers guys!
Will update if they dont fit

Haha, i did think about them!
This car isnt track oriented, more of a Daily Driver, so i think they would be a bit too harsh for me!

You still doing those Refurb rear beams dude??

gonna need one at some point soonish, if I can be bothered to stop ignoring my slightly bent trailing arm
