drive shaft intermediate bearing collapsed?

RE: That darn knock...VIDEO - pug306driver - 07-06-2016

seen the exhaust crack, maybe the culprit as engine "jerky"?? hope it is as that will be relatively inexpensive to fix. Under impression car was not such a "special". wow that tyre, you have been having fun!!

She is special alright...

eSpecially annoying at times!! 

Hmmm. Think just too much heat/too little support

Looks like it started from the HAZ on the ropey weld nearby.


RE: That darn knock...VIDEO - Piggy - 13-06-2016

Right...ropey crack fixed with more ropey weld. Need a real welder...and some skill...

Nevertheless... Still got a seperate suspension clonk n crunk...
Proper bugging me

Can here it on my track footage going through chicanes


RE: That darn knock...VIDEO - Piggy - 10-08-2016

Ok...so this got real bad after Pugfest. Seemed fine on route.
All makes sense as now found. Me and ruan wouldnt give up once I could jack it up in a certain position to make it knock by giving ghe wheel a.jerk in a certain way.

Turns out dry front nearside wishbone bush bolt essentially. Managed to get a 1/4 turn on it...but was SO creaky.

Wound out, cleaned up and greased up...wound in tight.

Now no creaks, crunches or clunks!! woopwoop

Got a photo showing the suspect bolts? Perhaps all of our 306s could do with tlc to those bolts? Presume not touched since factory?

Ive edited my post... I was very tired... Its the front wishbone bolt. Long one with 18mm head


RE: That darn knock...VIDEO - carlukepeugeot - 11-08-2016

Interesting. So what - you just tightened it up essentially? (once you could that is) As said above, is this something we should al look at? Trying to understand what has happened here.

Yeah essentially.

Managed 1/4turn or so.

Wound it out and it creaked all the way. Cleaned and greased and all is loverly jubberly

Maybe the captive nut inside the sub frame has come away from its weld as well?

His is a phase 3 so the subframe nuts are not spot welded theyre just captive. Meaning they can rattle if a little loose. Bad design choice for the newer ones.
