So for a couple of months had a little rattle coming from the drivers strut on the 6 when going over any small road blemish.

Have been using it as a weekend car but since i sold the meridian last week it has been a workhorse and has done about 1K miles in that time....

Yesterday the rattle gets louder and car seems to sporadically pull to one side or the other every now and then.

After my job turned the wheel full right lock and looked under the car to see the wishbone bolt which is about 4-5 inches long sticking right out of the joint!!!!!

Had almost fallen right out. Yikes - glad i had a look as it could have ended very badly!

So jacked the car up took off the wheel and waited for the AA guy to arrive and he torqued it up with the right tool.

So second time its come loose over time. Had newly fitted wishbones when i bought it.

So im thinking whatever bellend fitted them has screwed the thread right and it keeps coming loose?

Any remedy suggestions?

AA guy said something about screw lock or something.

I'll try and upload the photos tomorrow but dont have my data cable with me.

Its to the right of the oil sump. The joint just below the driveshaft rubber seal.

Could've been bad if the bolt had totally come out whist driving.

Some amazing B-roads down in devon/plymouth area though!

Standard peugeot pinch bolt and nylock nut comes to about 2.40. Never had one come loose when torqued up correctly so I'd give that a try... Just don't be tempted to overtighten them.

very lucky boy that could have been messy on a motor way.

use a nylon nut and torque it to correct torque

Did that pic give it away then ?

Still...sod playing £135 for solid engine mounts.

Edit: found some good info in the FAQ's.

But cheers for pointing that out eddy.

Any uprated mounts but for not so much money going around?

had my wishbone snap last friday , wassnt too messy as i was doing about 10 mph when it gave way under light braking , pulled the shaft out without damaging the splines though so i was also very lucky as it was a 50squid and fixed job otherwise it would have been a lot more pricey with a shaft too
