Had a look at a partner and berlingo today. It looks like the front subframe are the same as 306. the partner had cast wishbones while the berlingo has pressed steel ones like 306. Does anybody know if the berlingo or partner wishbones are longer, ie can be used on a 306 to give negative camber etc? also mthe cast ones could be a good upgrade for track cars as i would think they flex less

I've noticed before on Servicebox that the Xsara VTS shares some suspension parts with the Partner but nothing cross references to the 306.It would be interesting to see some side by side with 306 items  ________________________________________ Rich |

I think they are the same- i believe the ones ECP sell for the Xsara come up as Partner on the sheet. Do the hubs look the same? I'll check my records when home.For neg camber- do AST not do adjustable top mounts? |

AST do make 2 way independently adjustable top mounts yes  as for the rest of it, the bulkhead forwards under the exterior panels are near identical to a 306/xsara. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Don't see why you couldn't make a balljoint longer somehow (cue phil with some rosejoints...) ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Just get him to knock up some of his tubular rosejointed wishbones, not sure what adjustment they have already but I'm sure he could extend them a bit.Though not as cheap as wishbones from a scrappy...  ________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |

They've got enough adjustment that I run out of driveshaft travel before I run out of wishbone adjustment  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

get some 406 BE shafts, then you just need to shorten them instead of add metal  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
