It is quite common for the silent blocks (the rubber bushings that act as dampers) of the suspension wishbones to fail, making the ride on uneven surfaces particularly noisy: in this case, you can decide whether to replace the entire wishbone or just the bushing; start by lifting the vehicle on a hydraulic lift to remove the suspension wishbone; make a cut on the damaged bushing so that it can shrink during extraction, making this manoeuvre easier; then, press the new bushing into the wishbone housing using a ball joint tool in a vice (or under a press).

Where to Find and How to Remove the Spare Wheel of a Peugeot 5008?

The spare wheel of a Peugeot 5008 is located under the rear of the vehicle. To remove it, you need to lift the third row of seats to access the fixing bolt that holds the spare wheel in position. Using the correct spanner, proceed to unscrew the fixing bolt until the wheel is no longer secured. At this point, you can extract the spare wheel from underneath the vehicle.
