Thanks for this . Same problem on the c5 model 3 lower ball joint rattle and drop link same suspension and brake setup. Nice suspension and handling when it's working
Brilliant and useful video footage from a top-mechanic. The jobs you do are sure good because: clean and tidy workshop, well organised and very professional appearance. Very impressive, indeed.
Great content, really enjoying your channel, my girlfriend's dad did 100k a year in his 406 I had the joy of maintaining, endless pain in the rear jobs. Imagine my face when he tells me he'd "upgraded" to the 407.....
Thank you so much for your educational video. I replaced that item today and after watching your videos I had confidence. The only tool I wish I had was the socket to undo the wheel hub bolt. Thanks again. Any chance of a video on how to change the cam belt?
Amazing how they've got this 'trick' suspension setup, yet still handle like a barge. That said, the ride is pretty good if you're into that whole 'detached from actually driving' kind of thing.
ok. mañana te contaré. solo compre 1 rotula, pero me temo que tengo las 2 mal....tengo que cambiarlas, cada vez que cojo algun bache suena como si se desarmaria el coche.
No need to remove shaft or arm !! Just remove disc, put solid stand under the suspension and lower the car (to have access to lower ball joint screws). Remove the screws with torx spanner, rotate ball joint (honestly not ball joint but bearing) and remove it.
Adam Łukasik I have tried the way you describe but with this particular car in the vid without releasing the bottom arm & removing the c.v. joint from the hub would have made access to the seized inner bearing more difficult to remove. But whatever works for us, so long as we get the job done. Thanks for watching
So it is time to check another front suspension for example Ford Focus RS and his Revo knuckle, next is Opel Insignia first gen. and his hiper strut, Renault Megane RS,...They have same solution for their knuckles. It is based on motorsport.
Yeah very weird to have double wishbone setup on a Peugeot. I thought double wishbones only made an appearance on cars like the Honda NSX and Audi R8 etc :P
Hi great video, explained really well. I have some knocking from my 407 ( front offside I think) but when I have checked the play I seem to have a lot of play side to side but not top and bottom. Does this point more towards track rod ends?? Anti roll bars seem OK also bottom ball joint looks fairly new.. Thanks
I've done ball joints plenty. German, Korean, Japanese, American...some are welded, bolted, pressed...I've never seen with the stud INTEGRATED into the spindle. Wow. That does look like something the French would do - French Engineer Job Justification? We make zee ball joint dif-r-aunnntt! Again, nice work, enjoing these videos! - I see the road salt/brine used in the UK is just as bad on the cars there as it is here.
hi I have a 407 have like a flat tyre sound at the back had bearing done had discs done and brake pads as it looked like the discs were rubbing on the brake pads when brake pads removed disc still wobbled but didn't rub had discs and brakes and it still sounds like a flat tyre I cant take anymore inbetween has ball joints on front done and bearing osf I cant take it anymore sounds like a flat tyre still oh also had new tryes can anyone help its definatley coming from osr help !!!
@@OneAuto OK thank you, im a "hobby mechanic" used to fix my own cars allthough ive never done this particular job on a french car ( as in unnecessarily complicated). So it´s allways a good idea to know what´s ahead both in time and tools :) Thx for a nice video, saved me alot of ?=()?=`?)?(=)()/&%#%¤//!!!! :)
+One Auto, hi, good clear video and well explained.. I am doing a drive shaft on the same car nearside and it didn't have a circlip on the old unit and neither has the new one... Do the shafts just simply sit in the transmission and not click in as on other cars I've worked on?? Thanks
+One Auto, thanks really useful!! I am fixing this car 4 a friend.. was previously a taxi :/ has done 190k he was getting excessive noise and was told by someone it would be okay to carry on driving however:- he destroyed n/s driveshaft and top engine mount by cam belt (the bottom one of the two) yesterday I changed ds and mount, everything super tight just like your one!! Broke several of my tools :(, anyway on further inspection I realised the bush in the bottom of the suspension leg that connects to lower wishbone is totally gone... I'm guessing there pressed out/in and it's not a DIY job??? Also there is extreme pressure on the mount I replaced so I have had to jack engine to release so I don't damage the new one, as the whole engine is being forced over towards the offside.. I have noticed the dog bone type torsion engine mount that sits above the 1 I have replaced is also damaged.. What can possibly be causing all these problems?? Is it possible another mount has gone?
Wow.. difficult to comment without seeing it. Sounds like its been abused in a previous life! The bush that connects to wishbone you talk of is replaceable but you would need to press it out with a bush extractor tool. Replace all defective engine & gearbox mountings. 190K as a taxi stop/start has put excessive strain on them by the sounds of it. HTH
He would not have had to resort to removing the disk or the caliper if the lower bearing inner race had not seized itself to the stupid French stud idea, where normally you would have a lower balljoint. If you look at this system closely, it is more prone to be attacked by road salts and water, where-as the balljoint is better sealed against water ingress. And Rob explained that to someone else. It was an awkward job well carried out. The car was a 2004 Peugeot 407. And had 12 years for that bearing to break down.
tengo un peugeot 407 2008 necesito conseguir un buje ara 407 508 HDI SW Superior Inferior Suspensión Delantera Hub Carrier inferior Bush tu me lo puedes vender?? es para mexico
trying to redesign the wheel with that setup lol, expensive manufacture and piss poor end result. got to love peugeot ... Can't stand working on french cars lol, awful junk, torx/allen drives should be banned from suspension and brake fixings . Well done to you for getting it done .
Ok. Now I feel like I’m better of disassemble the complete suspension and replace every single rubber that’s in there. Cause that seems like a like of cussing.
I love the way this guy works. So confident. And he has every tool you'll ever need. He is a proper master mechanic.

Hahah
Thanks for this . Same problem on the c5 model 3 lower ball joint rattle and drop link same suspension and brake setup. Nice suspension and handling when it's working
Oh, I have the same car. It's nice to have a repair channel from Europe :-) I watch a lot from USA, South Main Auto being my favorite.
+Krillekris We all love a bit of Eric O!

Thank you so much. I appreciate it 👍
Very informative and well explained. Now I dare to change the ball joint on my 407. Thank you so much. 👍
well planned,makes it look simple.proper mechanic well done
Thank you, glad you liked it.

OMG really!..... I'd be sacking off his daughter Lol
Good presentation, just had that bear paw thing replaced wondered what it was exactly.
Thank you so much for your educational video.

Definitely some French engineering going on there! What a battle, good work
Yeh got there in the end!
I hate a Clio I have to look after for a customer. Never repays the love, fights all the way.

You're welcome
Muy buen video explicativo. Mañana voy a ponerlo en practica. A ver si se me da bién. Gracias por este estupendo aporte.
Gracias. Buena suerte

You have right good job
congratulations, very good video !!! one question: what are the names of the bushings on the upper inner side of the suspension ... thank you !!!
Unfortunately, like autodoc, you have missed the part where the lower shock hole is no longer in line - how do you fix that?
It’s not that the bolts are excessively tight the snap on impact gun is garbage. Glad to see you changed the to the Milwaukee.
Nicely done video!
Very helpful.
Thanks for the guide, really appreciate it, fair play.
Definitely would like this chap to work on my car proper car mechanic
Thanks for watching Judi 👍
That was a real fight. Any chance you contunue with this kind of videos, mate?
Amigo quanto custa esse servíço ai? Ja incluindo as peças, lado D e E?
thank you
sucks that everything was so tight. I've never seen a bearing in place of where there's normally a lower ball joint, that's interesting. good job.
It's certainly an unusual set up.. welcome to Peugeot 😂
Thanks for this man. Subbed
Dan Barnett you're welcome, thanks.
I own a 407 and have a hard time finding spares for it . Can pl. help me a way to get it stuff shipped to Sri lanka.
i dont work on many french cars im glad to say. these are possibly one of the weirdest front end set ups you'll see on a modern car.
That's a fact!
So it is time to check another front suspension for example Ford Focus RS and his Revo knuckle, next is Opel Insignia first gen. and his hiper strut, Renault Megane RS,...They have same solution for their knuckles. It is based on motorsport.
Yeah very weird to have double wishbone setup on a Peugeot. I thought double wishbones only made an appearance on cars like the Honda NSX and Audi R8 etc :P
What are the bolt heads called what hold the joint
What is the name of the blue clamping tool?
Hi great video, explained really well.
I have some knocking from my 407 ( front offside I think) but when I have checked the play I seem to have a lot of play side to side but not top and bottom. Does this point more towards track rod ends?? Anti roll bars seem OK also bottom ball joint looks fairly new..
Thanks
Hi thanks for your comments.. Yes sounds like track rod ends or the inner tie rod joints.
I've done ball joints plenty. German, Korean, Japanese, American...some are welded, bolted, pressed...I've never seen with the stud INTEGRATED into the spindle. Wow. That does look like something the French would do - French Engineer Job Justification? We make zee ball joint dif-r-aunnntt!
Again, nice work, enjoing these videos! - I see the road salt/brine used in the UK is just as bad on the cars there as it is here.
Ahh oui Nick, nice French accent their 😂
That's because it's not a ball joint... it's a swivel point.... different things entirely.
Theres always one isnt there . That has some smartarse comment . Get a life bigifuctcation .

is this a particular issue in the UK due to road salting ?
Yes it is, salt knackers the cars here

Didn't have a clue how to dismantle the 407 - forgot about the drive shaft, forgot about the disk - I gave up after that.
