Slightly Wiggly Rear

[DAMIAN666]

No folks im not being a pervert before you asl lol.
I have a 406 HDI 90 Estate and i dont know if its withthe bad weather and snow etc that were haveingbut the rear end of the puggy seems to me to be very sloppy and feels like its slightly wandering about even on a long section of road?

I was wondering if any of you fellow 406 owners have had this issue at all and wondering if its springs, shockers or is there arear anti roll bar that the bushes may need replaced?

All help will be greatfully taken on thought

Cheery mate many thanks.
Do they do polly bushes for the 406 estatedose anyone know?

[FarmerPug]

i know that my 406 likes to do lift off oversteer in this snow, and i encourage it as im enjoying it.

Mine does Eactly the same but only on one side,
passed its mot like this so its got me stumped
if igo round a corner ican feel the car slide on the nearside rear, it feels like im driving a ford capri

[FarmerPug]

no im not getting that, the back end only slides out in the direction im not going if and only if i turn in very hard and let out the accelerator, or pull the handbrake, all on the private roads round the farm dont do this on the public road its dangerous.

mine only feels washy on the passengers side rear as well. How much are the bushes drop links etc and dose anyone know of good on line shops dedicated to Peugeot?

[FarmerPug]

could be the rear droplinks, mine were replaced for the mot, cheap as chips to have changed and the car did feel slightly more composed.

Hey there Tony - Yes my '03 406 Estate has similar symptoms; diagnosed as worn rear trailing arm bushes.

Just trying to work out how difficult a job it would be to replace these, as they can be sourced from a particular auction website for peanuts!

Alternatively they also stock complete unit's with the bushes already pressed in which might be easier to fit ?

Anyone done these who could offer more expertise please?

[FarmerPug]

£30 it cost for the rear droplinks in my saloon that was the parts, and the fitting.

How easy is the job to do for a home job?

[FarmerPug]

i imagine very easy if the cars lifted up
