Any recommendations for a reconditioned rear beam? - Dodgy Bob - 01-02-2013 Anyone know of any good places to get a ready reconditioned rear beam properly done and reasonably priced? Found this one quite appealing so far http://www.fraserbrowneng.co.uk/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=52 Rear end of my car is making worse and worse creaks, groans and knocks, seein as I'm quite attached to the car now and have no intention of letting it go all the jobs that need doin will be gettin done bit by bit and the at the moment it seems the whole suspension set up all round is dying a death so first to be dealt with will be the rear seein as everyone likes a nice & firm rear end RE: Any recommendations for a reconditioned rear beam? - Tom - 01-02-2013 http://www.imaxle.co.uk/catalog/refurbished-rear-axle-306 You seem to have found the best deal there! RE: Any recommendations for a reconditioned rear beam? - puglove - 04-02-2013 Thats as cheap as your going to get my friend RE: Any recommendations for a reconditioned rear beam? - c.gerrard - 04-02-2013 Your shed RE: Any recommendations for a reconditioned rear beam? - Dodgy Bob - 04-02-2013 I did read the guide for a DIY rebuild, gave it some serious consideration but I'd probably get half way through, get angry, fluff it up and then still end up buying one ready done anyway. Not least to mention that if I even set foot in my shed in its current state I'll probably go straight through the floor. Least if I get a proper guaranteed one its one less thing to worry about in theory. Having a terrible time with the rear calipers at the moment so looks like this will be taking a back seat for now. RE: Any recommendations for a reconditioned rear beam? - jorg - 05-02-2013 There is a bloke in Leeswood, North Wales called Andy who could provide a rebuilt beam for around the same price. He uses proper Peugeot parts and the quality is second to none. He can build it to the spec you want plus he can do fitting too. He is well thought of on the GTi-6 and 205GtiDrivers forums, goes by the username jord294. I had a beam built by him for my 306 rally car and I couldn't be more please with it. I will try and dig out a pic. Don't mess about with refurb companys like the one in the link, you never know what you will get. Andy could tell you some horror stories about 'new, refurbed' beams. Geoff Edit: I found the pic RE: Any recommendations for a reconditioned rear beam? - Dodgy Bob - 05-02-2013 Nice one bud :-) just had a read of a thread on the GTi-6 forum, seems spot on. Like the idea of him been down the road and probably having it all boxed off in less than a day would be a mega plus. Smiles all round, best get saving.
