Rear axle repair kit

[pugdamo 111 2 Cars]

I'm not sure if I can put eBay links up but there's a seller I've looked at on eBay that's selling a full axle repair kit, don't suppose it's a member on here? Just want to make sure it's someone reliable and it will be decent parts, they list the larger bearing as OE having 45 needles and also say it comes with an extra seal not sold by other sellers. Just for ease I'm after a full kit so if there are any of the axle builders that are selling kits I'd be happy to buy one. 

The eBay seller is 205s R US from Lowestoft Suffolk and I seem to think it's someone here (I know there's more than one person that lives there before you say it lol) 

 

Thanks,

Damian

Your choice, but I wouldn't use. Better quality out there

When I did mine a few years ago I used Peugeot and Citroën dealers for genuine parts , I found Citroën were slightly dearer,

That's all I needed thankyou. Don't suppose you would sell a kit? From reading things you and others have posted I know some bits are still available at dealers and some aren't. If there's a kit somewhere that's worth getting I'll get it, or if I know what to get and where I'll do it. Doing a Google search I saw a Meyle kit (brand I've used before with no issues but not for axle rebuilds) and a couple SNR kits, they were all also on eBay, the SNR kits were both french companies which I guess makes buying difficult UK for import charges.

 

Thanks for the reply, saved me wasting my time on that eBay one though.

Thankyou for that, did you manage to get everything from the dealers? I thought some of the seals were not available anymore.

I’ve been putting the bits together for a full rebuild. I’ve had full bolt kit from stefs axles. Some febi bistein stuff from spoox along with some genuine oe seals, and had snr bearings and other bits from retro rally race. The quality of the parts will definitely be better than what I’ve got fitted now

[jord294 87]

I've got genuine 306 kits, which usually I wouldn't sell, but would to help out. I'd want rrp

 

5132.62 for reference

Thankyou Very much, What's included in that kit? If I can just give that number to my local Peugeot dealer I can do that to save you posting stuff, I appreciate it's a pain packing and sending stuff. If I can get it locally I'll do that as long as I know what's available at the dealers and what I need to get elsewhere. I know @TomFenton was selling seals and anti roll bar caps before so I'll contact him once I can start getting a list together.

Only just seen this after I posted the reply to Jord, thankyou very much. I'll look into this aswell.

I can supply bearings, seals, and other genuine parts. You won't find the 306 kits available. I bought loads before they went nla. I even have genuine arb bushes and foam rings which I believe are superior quality

[jord294 87]

I also have genuine shock bolts with oe nuts and washers, to keep that axle as close to oe as poss

[pugdamo 111 2 Cars]

I'm assuming all the 306 parts fit? I'm not fussed about the whole oe thing but what I'm after is good quality parts, I don't want to be pulling it apart again in a years time and doing it again. The arm shafts are also something I'd be changing. What are we looking at cost wise?

 

[jord294 87]

You tell me every part you require, and I'll give you a price

[pugdamo 111 2 Cars]

I'm assuming all the parts I need are,

Arm shafts x2

Inner and outer bearings x2

Arm shaft seal and cup x2

Anti roll bar seals x2

I think that's it.

[welshpug 1,622]

most of the 306 uses the same part numbers, the anti  roll bar bush is  thinner as the end plate has to accommodate the larger diameter ends of the ARB, as well as the  306 having a bearing kit listed where the 205 never did.

 

oddly the most recent pictures I've seen online of the kit doesn't include the main shaft seal, last time I used an oem kit it was included and the price was half what I have seen them now.

Thankyou for the reply. Where do you get your parts? I'm assuming it's a mix of dealers and aftermarket and if it's aftermarket what brands do you prefer to use? I've read here that some SNR bearings come with the French power bearing with the correct number of rollers and the inner bearing I think was German unbranded with the lesser number (I've read so much it's all starting to fog together lol). The parts I listed was that everything?

 

Thanks again

Hi All, I'm just back into the fold after losing interest in playing with cars for a few years now. I picked up a refurbed Bronze bushed rear beam ages ago was just staring to build it up but have noticed the inner beam bearings aren't there. Both circled in the picture. Are they required and if so any idea of the part number, or can one of you Gents supply?

 

 

Cheers

Thanks very much Gents

[jord294 87]

You'll need to remove the outer bronze bush to fit the inner bearing. 

 

Can't believe someone only did half a job

[Darrens205GTI 9]

To be fair to the man that sold it to me it was only all nipped up whilst he waited for bearings and seals, that way nothing went AWOL. He never got to purchase those bits cos I purchased all his Pug parts as a job lot. More fool me for not putting it together when it was all fresh in my mind.

 

I'll read through the guide whilst I strip down my old beam, that will hopefully give me enough info to buy the bearings and seals and put it all together.

 

Cheers
