horhayj505 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I need some demensions and info, if anyone would kindly supply with them I wish you a thousand thanks. My GLX has some slop in the front end I thought possible tie rods but ended up being the lower control arm bushing not the radius bushing but the one on the control arm closest to the rack. I've been doin some research oline and there are still kits being sold for the 79-86 505 but I just need to know if that bushing has the same demensions as the 86 and on as my car is an 88. Would really appreciate the help. I already ordered the front radius arm bushings of rock auto but those are the only listings as far as lower control arm bushings. Please and thank you Horhayj505 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 You should have the one piece lower a-arm, and the 2pc strut - so that radius arm bushing you ordered is likely for the older design. The bushing at the engine cross member should be the same, but I'll try to confirm tomorrow on my spare arms. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horhayj505 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Ahhh darn!! Yes it is a one piece arm sounds good buddy thanks : ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethx Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 from the parts microfiche: older design (i.e., my car) -- plate 35A01: the later style (i.e., later turbos & v6 models with ABS) -- plate 35B01: if i understand the discussion correctly, the part in question (that i've circled in green in both diagrams) is the same part number, 3523.16. the parts list for plate 35A01 also gives the dimensions for this part: bushing, elastic: 14x30x44x33 andré Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Awesome! That's the exact confirmation we needed... I knew they looked the same, but it's nice to have it confirmed. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horhayj505 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Alright and here go the radius arm bushings for 87 and later models with the one piece lower control arm : ] hope this helps you guys http://www.aftermarketsuspensionparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=W82568 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 One piece lower control arm started in late 87' with turbo and V6 cars - so that listing is a bit off. Very curious to see if they'd work though - and if not in the ABS cars I could always use it in my 504 since it's running 86 505 turbo suspension. Did some more searching and found that later style part number listed as 79 - 86 505 bushings on e-bay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Whiteline-Radius-Rod-Bushings-Chassis-Peugeot-505-1979-1986-W82568-/140858144925?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item20cbccb89d I wonder now if the old style housing could be used with the later style arm with the old bushings... Or if you could machine a sleeve to make up whatever difference there was. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horhayj505 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Sorry I was looking at the other listing lol but yes those are the same ones I posted the link of : ] 87 and on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 That's the problem Horhay - they look like 79 - 86 ones and not the bigger ones used with the one piece arms. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horhayj505 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I never updated you guys I bought those bushings off eBay they pressed right in now more play in my front suspension made a BIG difference : ] now if I could only get my hands on a rag joint for the steering shaft at the rack and pinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethx Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 great, thanks for the update horhay! by the way, we are starting to plan another get-together for west coast 505 owners (we had one last year), maybe some time this summer or possibly during car week in monterey. i need to come up with a mailing list of people who might be interested in coming... andré Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Awesome! Thanks very much for the update Horhay. I'll be ordering mine right away as I'll be refurbishing my whole front suspension after paint when I do the wheel and brake upgrades this winter. Likely ordering 3-4 sets actually... BTW - any chance you can post pics? Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
