Suspension Wishbone Replacement

Model: Peugeot 106 MK 1 - Years 1991-2004
Part: Control arm

The failure of the bushings on the suspension wishbone is a fairly common issue, and in this case, you can choose to replace only the bushings (a repair kit is available in the aftermarket) or the entire wishbone; to replace the wishbone, lift the vehicle on appropriate axle stands and remove the front wheel; then proceed to remove the bolt securing the ball joint to the hub support, followed by the other two anchoring points of the wishbone, one of which requires removing the interior carpet from the driver's side to access the securing bolts of the plate; then reverse the process to fit the new wishbone.
