my 406 2.1 1998 saloon has failed the mot on
nearside and offside rear suspension arm has exessive play in pin/bush
can anyone get a part number for these and price? please
also are they easy to change eg do you just unbolt the pin knock it out drop the bush and replace with new or do you need a press etc
cheers

Which part do you think it is?

Taking a guess, but IF it's parts 7 or 17 then

...........................Part No.........Description...................Net...............Gross

7 (until RPO 07664) = 0000364035 PIN BALL-JOINT 28.12 GBP 33.74 GBP

7 (since RPO 07665) = 0000364041 PIN BALL-JOINT 21.62 GBP 25.94 GBP

17 =..................... 0000513180 FLEXIBLE JOINT 12.21 GBP 14.65 GBP

think its part 17 cheers

Sorry Steve

well tried to remove bush number 17 in the pic
decided to remove the arm from the car only 3 bolts bush,shock,and hub carrier and off it came but that was the end of my good luck.
the bush wont come out even made a puller with some threadedbar but it just striped the thread of it so looks like a garage job.

Hi
I replaced the same bush on both sides on my 406 2 weeks ago. You will need a hydraulic press to do it. I live on a farm and they have a 30 ton press. Unfortunatley a threaded bar is no good i tried the same thing myself and gave up with it. If you know anyone with a press do it yourself its quite easy once you get the hang of it. If not go to a garage they shouldn't charge much to press it out and press the new one in. It was lucky it was only the inner bush apparently the outer bush is hard to do. Good luck.

Burn it out , get a blow torch on it,

imean the bush not the car

ive Burnt a few bushes out in the past dosent smell good but it makes them easier to bang out,

good idea but i havnt got a blow torch and even if i had i would still have to get the new one pressed in so its a garage job
