[Steering & Suspension] Rear Suspension Rebuilders?

[smutts]

   
And two years and a month later, the rear wheels are spread akimbo, creaking and groaning.

the spec for the camber from Pug servicebox,

car - raised - or : CRD = difficult road conditions (Peugeot escapade, usharia,)

Suspension type    Without suspension 800 kg  With suspension 800 kg
Tracking                0º33' ± 0º11'                     0º04' ± 0º11' 
Camber                 -1º14' ± 30'                       -1º16' ± 30' 

so near as dammit, they each 15" wheel should be tipped in at the top by 8.3mm
mine are 18mm & 26mm, and  getting very tight to the mudguard.

It never carried any heavy loads, not done a massive distance, unimpressed.
So not a great result for the IM Axle. 

It's Done.

So, options,

1, Burn it, and buy absurdly overcomplicated impossible to fix modern car, (have you seen main dealer rates these days!)
2, Get refurbed axle from this lot in Poland, Pug Escapade Axle, and reread my post from two years ago to avoid the pratfalls.

Here we go again

Be aware, getting something of this value from Poland now is likely to attract import duties on top of the shipping cost, now we are no longer in the EU.

Yes, I'm awaiting dismalness from customs & excise.

Anyone coming with a sweepstake as to the import duty due on a £174 second hand but rebuilt item?
Jaffa cakes are not biscuits.

Disappointing result for IM axles.
Could it be rebuilt somewhere else with high quality bearings.
I still haven't needed to change mine yet but at 240,000 it will fail soon..

Do these axle problems affect the vans or is it just the Multispace versions?

Work van:     2020 1.5 BlueHDi 100 Enterprise Berlingo
Spare van:    2001 1.9 600d Berlingo

The Berlingos & Partners prior to the 2008 model change are susceptable,
unless you have the 1000kg? version with leaf springs with a dead axle.

Just in case you were wondering,

Customs duty is due on the part cost PLUS the delivery cost to get it into the UK.
NET....Part cost £167, delivery £41, so £208.
ADD duty on car parts at 5% so £218.40
ADD couriers customs paperwork, this can be a real rip off,
& some couriers will utterly screw you, but for me £10 so £228.40.
ADD good old VAT at 20% so £274.08 to the door.
but there is no need to return my old core, which suits me.
