Re: 306 sedan rear mounts

Re: 306 sedan rear mounts

Re: 306 sedan rear mounts
Re: mounts,
not sure if the 106 is running on a Beam like the 306 /xsara/ saxo
id presume it is, ithink theres two bolts either side in the boot, lower beam a couple inches to replace mount, AXLE stands,
Have alook on the Saxo/xsara forums theres Guides on this,
or best person to ask is Travis bickles on here, altho ive not seen him around on here lately,
