quite a few citroens and pugs use tourtion bar suspension, are you asking which other modles you can use the rear axle from, as the usual fix is fit a good second heand axle

Hi,

I wanted similar info re AX and 106 etc recently.

I found checking part numbers on citroen parts PRNETsite and peugeot servicebox was the best way

they could well be, but most people i know of with rear arm or axle problems with this type of suspension, just swap the hole axle for a good S/H one,

try PCR of Lancing West Sussex as they are specialist citro/pug dismantlers, and should be able to tell you which arm's/axles will fit,

and they do mail order

Hi,

You could also try "Coventry Transmissions" 0n 02476 635054.

At Unit 2,3 St Agathas Road, Stoke, Coventry.

They do a very good recon exchange service at very reasonable prices.

They do a deliver and collect arrangement.

Give them a ring. I have used them on recommendation and know a number of other satisfied customers.

Regards

John

can they do toursion bar rear axles as well,

quite offten there are so many damaged parts its easyer to just stick a S/H axle on

Hi,

Coventry Transmissions did a full recon exchange rear axle for my sons AX.

I believe they also offer a recon service on your own axle or part recon i.e replace only one side.
