Jer309GTi 3 Posted January 23, 2006 As above really, was just wondering if the 405 rear beams have the same troubles as 205/309 beams with the bearings failing and ruining the tube? I'm guessing its a very similar design, just bigger. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing its a very similar design, just bigger. Thanks I find the 405 ones to be worse, as the shaft is pressed into the beamtube (not replaceable), and the bearings is in the trailing-arms. Meaning the shafts are not replaceable like on the 205 and hence you would need a completely new beam-tube to refurb it properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,000 Posted January 23, 2006 And they seem to fail just as badly too, judging from my 405 and the ones I looked at in the scrapyard for a replacement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 242 3 Cars Posted January 24, 2006 I've also heard they are worse than 205 beams & cost more to fix. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
