- PART 29 OF PROJECT 16v #allthevalves #thelemon
Lets ignore the engine problems and focus on shiny parts, time to finish the axle/beam rebuild and fit it to the Lemon.
21mm TBs. 24mm ARB. GAZ adjustable shocks. Stock mounts. New bearings and fixings. Lots of grease.
Many thanks to Stef of of Axles By Stef. Supplied the parts I needed at a great price and gave me help everytime I asked without any complaints!
Lesson to take away from this one... Get Stef to do it next time!

Top man ! You know iv never actually worked on a torsion bar rear axle before other than to change 1 out on a 309 years ago , most garages round my way would never touch them interesting now as an older ( 38 ) man to revisit this through the wonders of u tube and see what all the fuss is about
Well done on a lovely rebuild a very nice car now actually a 306 Dturbo “ new enough to be good” - “ old enough not to have all the shite on it “ well done friend 👍🏻
Haha! Thanks! Have fun, hope you find another to tinker with
Good job :)) Thanks
No problem 👍 🐖🤙
Halfway through trying to rebuild my beam and I've snapped a bolt in the end of one of the torsion bars. Should've just hammered the arms out instead of trying a puller. Good video hopefully I can free my seized bars.
Oh no! Hopefully it's not tight in the threads. May have to knock the arms off, got to come off for rebuild anyway 👍👌🐷💪
18:43 poor dog🐕
Dog- Hey piggy come throw the ball for me
Dog- ahh never mind😳
🤣🤣 Ziggy gets lots of ball time don't worry!
Good job 1 thing tho i wouldn't use copper grease on bearings as its a anti seize not a lubricant its actually slightly abrasive
100% agree.... Hence I don't THINK I would have put copper grease on bearings... I would use the lithium stuff, because as you say, it's anti seize only. 👌🐷💪

Hey pal good video, ive got mine unbolted inside the boot and the one underneath to replace the rubber bushew but it wont budge)lower. What am i missing please?
To replace the rubber mount you'll need to drop the entire axle 100mm or so. Not just one or two bolts.
Cheers for making this! Much more use than Mr Haynes :)
Is it possible to replace the two pairs of bearings inside the beam & re-use the beam? Or is it 9/10 that the beam is gouged from worn bearings & needs to be replaced..?
Yes it is. I've had a specialist do this for me, Stef, at other times. Many tubes now have gone oval and need further repair. You need a special tool or two to remove and refit the bearings.
Bing watching your channel last few days…great stuff! Interested in planting a XUD into my 01 partner van just for shits snd giggles, my friend has a lump, box and loom…the dw8 in there at the moment is painfully underpowered at 289k.
Oh nice! Yeah I've seen quite a few converted... They do go much better and it's a nice easy swap! Thanks for watching! ☺️👍
Well done you.
Sarcasm? 🤔😄
No. Would like to know where you get the antiroll bar seals from
Message Axles by Stef or ask at Peugeot dealership 👍🐷💪
I am looking for the replacement off set washers and nuts and bolts for the ends or the torsion bars ......any idea's ??
Contact Stef, Axles by Stef, on Facebook 👍🐖
@@PiggyPower Thanks, I have emailed him and not replied but will try again. Good video by the way ......well done was very helpful !!
Message him on Facebook

Hey man i have a 206 . But recently the car has a tendency to lean on the driver side ... And sometimes on the oposite . Ive recently serviced the rear axle but i dont know whether is it done right or not
"serviced" the rear axle?? How did you do that?
iv took rear beam of my saxo to fit on my 106 any tips as my old beam on the 106 is drums!
Need possibly slightly difference pipes, can make them... And use disc 106 handbrake cables 👌
, Καλησπέρα απο Ελλάδα,‼️ πολύ ωραίο βίντεο -τωρα το είδα - θελω να σε ρωτήσω την μπάρα που πάει μέσα στον σωλήνα του άξονα δεν τον έβαλες έτσι; Ρωτάω γιατί καί εγώ το ίδιο έκανα 🙂😉 υπάρχει περίπτωση να βγουν τα γόνατα η τα κρατούν γερά οι άλλες μπάρες; αν μπορέσεις απάντησε μου Ευχαριστώ 🙏
Ok, the bar inside the shaft is the anti roll bar. The translation on Google uses the word 'knees' but this doesn't make sense in English in regard to this suspension. Could you explain more?
Ναι ακριβώς για την αντιστρεπτική ράβδο που είναι μέσα στον άξονα σου λέω - Επειδή την έχω καταργήσει εδώ και καιρό - Δεν έχω κανένα πρόβλημα στη συμπεριφορά του αυτοκινήτου απλά φοβάμαι μήπως υπάρχει περίπτωση να να πάθω καμία βλάβη με τον τροχό μήπως πεταχτεί έξω μαζί με το μουαγιέ - έχει καμιά σχέση η αντιστρεπτική που έβγαλα με την συγκράτηση του τροχού; αυτό θέλω να μου να μου πεις - Ευχαριστώ που μου απάντησες αμέσως ξέρω ότι υπάρχει πρόβλημα με την μετάφραση - κάνε ότι μπορέσεις 👌👍‼️
Το γνωρίζω ότι υπάρχει πρόβλημα με την μετάφραση - επειδή εχω καταργήσει τη μπάρα εδώ καί καιρό χωρίς κανένα πρόβλημα, απλά φοβάμαι μήπως έχει καμιά σχέση με την στήριξη του τροχού - εγώ πιστεύω ότι δεν έχει - αυτό θέλω να μου πεις εσύ που είσαι μάστορας - ευχαριστώ και πάλι που μου απάντησες αμέσως 👍👌‼️
@@ΙωαννηςΧονδρογιαννης-ζ3τ you can run the axle with the ARB, it just wont handle very well, at all. Good for off roading though. See the Pugmudder, where i did exactly that.
Hi Piggy, I've been following your channel for a good time now and it has helped me on my journey with my own 306 a lot. Your videos are really great and informing. I know this video is from 2018 but I see you answered to every single comment so I hope you'll see this. I've got a problem with the rear being saggy and soft, no knocking sounds and I am suspecting the shocks have had enough. They are ta technix and also the front is on ta technix -30mm springs. Do I get the bilstein b4s? I am scrolling through forums and finding the b4s are good except one version (model number 1931) and they also say not to get 205 ones. I am pretty confused as I don't know which b4s to get. Some people recommend ones for a citroen zx or a 306 break as they should be compatible. I really would appreciate your help a lot :)
Good morning!! Thanks for watching my stuff and I always try to reply if I see the comments... Depends on RUclips really...
Presuming you have a 306.
The rear "sag" will be regulated by the torsion bars (like springs).
Are they stock? What size?
If you bounce the rear and let go and it keeps bouncing, that's the dampers.
B4s for a 306 be good yeah. Don't faff with others that might work, just get them for your 306. 👍🐷😁
Good morning to you too, I wasn’t expecting such a quick reply :) I suspect the torsion bars are stock and just the shocks were exchanged for some ta technix ones. I hope the shocks are at fault here, but I’m not 100% sure and I am a bit scared if I order and replace the shocks and the problem persists. Can you help me out, I can send you a video demonstration of it if you want. Thanks for the help, you’re a G.
btw i've just tried to do what u said, i pushed the trunk down with my hand and it does indeed keep bouncing. You think just replacing the dampers should do the trick?@@PiggyPower Thanks again for the help
@@funandchillingfacts defo
Thank you I am very grateful for your advice and will recommend your channel further to friends with pugs. Cheers :D
Hey good job on the axle, I'm doing some work on my GTI6 one currently, can you explain more about what went wrong with the wheels being 10mm to close together, you mentioned about the ARB but I can't see how there is 10mm in it to cause that??
Yeah ARB adjustment and the adjustment on the end of the torsion bars I got wrong. Silly error.
Good job man !!! I got 1998 Citroen Xsara which I'm preparing it to drive 500k around the world. The thing is that when I put some weight on the back the car sinks too much... The axle isn't rusted and the is no ticking sounds from it, the car has only 220k km. I know that my shocks are bad, is that the reason for the car to sinks or something else? I guess my Xsara has 19mm torsion bars, upgrading it to 21mm will stiff the rear more for holding weights?
Yeah, I'd upgrade to 21mm bars and some new shocks. 👍
Old bars lose strength overtime too 👌
Have a fun trip!!!
Are you documenting it?
👍🐷💪
hello, trying my luck here.... does anyone know the colour code of that yellow ? looks like ral1028, can anyone confirm ?
Hammerite yellow. 👍🐷😄
@@PiggyPower :-) thanks for the tip, but I have good experience with Brantho Korrux (available in many ral color codes)
Ok, sure ..but the paint I used in this video on that tube was Hammerite Yellow 👌😜
@@PiggyPower thanks for replying anyway. Meanwhile I checked with a RAL color code chart and the RAL code suiting best seems to be RAL1003
Hey bud great video, planning on getting a 206 but needs a rear axle am I able to replace the bearings of the axle to fix? Thanks josh BTW keep up good work on the car
josh_4000 ™ on the 206 you will find the shafts worn badly if bearings have gone. The shafts can only be replaced professionally... Requires special tooling/cuting the axle in half! It's not worth buying a worn out axle at all! 🐷💪
Hey love your vids but was just wondering what the torque specs are for the main 6 nuts that hold it on are?
55nm for the front two and 45nm for the rear. Ensure threads are clean and undamaged. I'd probably go 55 all round. But don't do anymore. You don't want them snapping!
@@PiggyPower thanks a lot :)
Piggy power I have a puegeout 309 I want it lowering 40mm struggling to find somewhere to do it. Would you do it if I pay? I don't mind travelling. Thanks
I would imagine people are turning it away due to its age.... A 309 rear axle will likely be totally seized or fall to pieces when pulled apart... I do offer this service but only on known axles.
Thank you for watching though 👍
Hope you are sub'd! 🐷💪😃
@@PiggyPower hi mate it's 64k and been dry stored all its life. I was gonna have a go but thinking I should try get a rebuilt axle maybe and yeha I am
Speak to Stefan, aka Stefs Axles. (On Facebook) he will do a great job, the best. Issue is age, not miles tbh. It could be fine... Could come apart and fall apart and you'd be stuck here!
If you were local and dropped it off, I would attempt it
Thankyou for subbing 👍🐷💪
I prefer to come in your garage to fit my peugeot rear axle I need some good mechanics but every one been rejected to change peugeot 306 rear axle
I can do it no problems. It's not that difficult really. Just heavy!
Ha mar felujitassz egy hatsohidat, szepen lefested, miert nem teszel a csapagyak kozze zsirzoszemet ? A csavarokra pedig rezpasztat hogy 10 ev mulva is ki legessen szedni ;)
Translate? 😬
@@PiggyPower If you went so far renovating the rear suspension, painted it nicely then why didnt you put lubrication between the bearings? And then why not put copper paste on the screws so you can take it apart 10 years later
@@danifarago7872 thanks for the translation 👍
Hi Levy...
I did both of those things...bearings were well greased with subtable grease and all threads that required antiseeze grease also got that 👌🐷💪
Hey you should just PRESS ON
