Anyone Know 306?

[es_shoes_rock]

i'v got a old shape 306 D turbo,

and the rear axel is making a thuding noise over bumps and im pretty sure its the rear beam mounts.

anyone know how hard these are to fit and if these are the right ones?

Will be the bushes on the back most probably the ones you have mentioned but best to check them all. As to how hard they are to fit I read somewhere you could do it on a trolley jack how true this is I have no idea.

They wont cure the noise.
You need to look on the gsf website and get the two rearmost mounts they are the common ones to go and the easy ones to change.


Those bits you linkd to go in the spaces on the standerd mount.
They help firm it up a bit but no real gain.
Haue a look on pug306.net

awesome :) thanks dude! is it a case of pretty much unbolting the axle and changing the mounts, then just bolting the axle back on?

[swampy]

Just slacken the front mounts off and let the subframe drop down.
Remove the bolts completly from the rear ones and the rear of the beam drops at an angle so you can fit the new mounts.
The nuts are accesd from inside the boot under black plastic covers

Hey mate, a friend of mine is breaking a L Reg 306D Turbo at the moment, want me to enquire how much he would sell his rear beam for? Its probably cheap as he knows fuck all about 306's. Shall I try?

Im on the mobile so cant link.
If you look for 306 rear beam mounts you want the small square ones with the offset studs.

not a problem.
Dont think there was many suspension parts i didnt change on my 306 s16.

You have 4 mounts on the 306 beam, rearmost are easy to do.
The front ones are a bit harder, and you have to make sure one of the bolts isnt pulled all the way out as its a right pain to get back in.
