djinuk 2 Posted July 3, 2008 Well im replacing my wishbones and ball joints etc this weekend, just wonering what size the ball joint bolts are , and also what part number they are , as basically if i get time i will pop into peugeot to get the proper ones, but if not would i get away with poping into my local diy store and picking some bolts from there up? On further note i have read to do them up to 35 nm, what torque settings should the wishbones bushes go up to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted July 3, 2008 Ball joint bolt - 6923 96 =87p each Nut - 3622 30 = 68p each If you don't use the right bolt it won't have the shanked section, this will mean the threads can wear and allow play which will give erratic handling and wear the balljoint out.

mrswampy 0 Posted July 3, 2008 if the car is to bes used on track it may be wise to upgrade them for 10.9 temsile rated ones rather than the 8.8 which pug supply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Word of warning, Peugeot supplied me with the wrong bolt as described above, after making me order in a minimum of 5 and refusing to take them back due to being special order.

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted July 3, 2008 Take a sample into a bolt shop, You can pick a pair of bolts & Nuts up for under a quid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
number2301 1 1 Cars Posted July 3, 2008 I need to find one of those, I'm sick of having to order things in, pay a couple of quid per bolt and still get the wrong thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrswampy 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Its not that easy just go in to an ironmongers/ supplies shop@ alot of them only stock weaker bolts,well below the 8.8grade pug use and the 10.9 grade id recommend is used the bolts on the suspension get all sorts of forces put on them in all manner of directions so you idealy want to use one of greater if not equal to rateing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted July 3, 2008 I agree with that, though odd that people are having problems sourcing from Peugeot, I had some 2 weeks ago that were ordered in specially and were absolutely fine, car just went through an MOT a few days later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted July 3, 2008 There's no real need to up the strength on these, Both are only pinch bolt's and not load bearing, Christ the strut's on a 205 are only held in by 3 M7 nut's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not realy adding much but i feel a bit better. because pug know they ahve you over a barrel if you nmeed new ones as no where stocks them!! though i can get them. maybe there is no need to go stronger on the bolts but it cant do any harm and i have seen a few 306s where the bolt had ebing slightly bent whilst in situe and caused a right mare to get it out.
