lozz the inner bolt needs marking up mate. if you look very close you will see the big washer is on the bolt side and the bolt is not in the center of it.

yup mate £70 a side :shock:

they said theyve had trouble getting them off on some 406s,
only trouble i had was the ball part kept moving alan key part rounded off so iramed a pair of mole grips inther and clamped it - peice of cake iwas looking at my angle grinder at one stage tho

the top links almost fell off once bolts was out,

and ihad to laugh out of buying one set of top links off ebay didnt arive and ordering another set that didnt arive too
and going out buying a set from peugeot ihave 8 sets of lovely drop links idont need ebay sellers keep asking if theyve arived yet err no isay ,, strangely postman pat keeps bringing me top links seems ebay sellers are honest afterall :twisted:
