hi guys. Bought my first Peugeot 306 and I thought it was just a stiff ride anyway
It turns out the rear right is stuck all the way up (very uncomfortable lol)
I was wondering have the bearings gone and siezed the radius arm
Or is it possible that the shock has given up and just froze upwards?
The guy I bought it off had it parked up on a inclined drive way with the driveres side facing down over
It was sat for 5 month.
Many thanks In advance

I would say seized and dead.
Can unbolt the damper/shocker very easily but my money is on a dead beam

Yeah that's more than likely the beam, rust gets in and seizes the bearings to the shaft.

Is anyone selling a beam? I would prefer a drum one, but if someone has a disk beam with all the callipers.
I'd consider that

buyer beware with private sales, but it must be as described. How was it described??
