Hi,
I am new to the Peugeot realm, having had my 406 coupe for only a few months now. I have sorted a couple of things - like getting a second key! and installing a cheap and cheerful remote locking system to replace the factory one abandoned some 10years ago.
Anyway the rear end is constantly rumbling - If it was a renault 10 I would say its a shocker bush in need of replacing. Anyway I am getting it looked at on Monday. I have heard that Peugeot's are known for their ride and handling on standard suspension and you mess with this at your peril. I am personally a big fan of Bilstein Gas shocks - I know B4's are readily available for the coupe.
So here is my question - If I do need to get new shocks, are the B4's a good upgrade? If not, how do I source originals, or can I get the OEM's rebuilt?
Any other comments warmly welcomed.
Thanks,
George
