Fix suspension costs?

luckycat99

Hi all,

Yesterday I discovered that my rear suspension in my Peugeot 206 has gone. Does anyone have a rough idea of how much this costs to fix?

I want to figure out if it's cost effective to fix it as it's quite old and there are a few other things wrong with it.

Thank you

I suppose it depends what you mean by gone? Dampers, springs, bushes could be anything. Either way you arent talking lots of money...better the devil you know sometimes. I did the dampers and a few other things on our old 306 recently and it was under £150. What are the symptons?

good s/h axle £150
3 hours labour £150
£300 job done
just make sure axle is good from a trusted breaker whos been in the business long enough to not need to shaft people

I'm not sure exactly what the problem is - I'm not very mechanically minded. Basically three of my friends got in the car yesterday and the rear of the car body sank onto the tyres. The front is fine, I usually only drive on my own so the rear suspension could have been broken a while I only noticed when I tired to give my friends a lift.

You'll need to take the car to a garage and get it checked out. From your description, its almost impossible to diagnose.

I paid £200 for a good second hand rear axle for a 206 GTi (so with disc brakes and ABS) and £125 to get it fitted.

Rear axle problems are VERY common on 206's
