Rear beam ...the good and the bad
#15
Cheers Stef. I've read plenty of posts about internet beams and knew I was taking a risk with it as they're built to a budget.  Fingers crossed the gamble pays off.  I hope you don't mind that in the end I didn't take up your offer to rebuild the beams.  I was running out of options having decided I really wanted to have a crack at rebuilding my own beams.

The one I posted about above is clearly dead and the one on the other car I'm driving at the moment is most likely on the way out.  The handling has gone quite vague, the back creaks occasionally, and I think a tiny bit of camber is starting to show.  (The front suspension was all done 18 months ago so don't think that's a cause of the handling issues).

I will be in touch as my beam builds progress though.  I was hoping you could supply various parts.  (I only have bearings & seals).  I'm likely going to need at least one beam tube.

Humm, does that mean the old one is a Xsara beam as well then?  Only got that car last Aug & like the others had minimal history with it.
