my left front suspention and ball joint needs replacing, how do i do this and is it a difficult procedure?
its a peugeot 106 on a 03 plate, my car makes alot of funny noise as i turn corners is this dangerous to be driving round with such a problem?

re replacement of lower ballon pug 106 - did mine ['94] wierdst part is inside taking the carpet away butit must be done to get tothe 2 nuts that keepon the bushing - do thisfirst
then take off the keeper bolt for the ball itself and then the hinge bolt thats father back [mine ddnt have the anti rollbar

- then tie the wheel bit to the frame - a strap that tightens is realy handy
- if the wheel is kept back then the wishbone bit just falls away - if it is not kept back the half shaft can comeout of the gearbox -

to put together put the ball bit in and get the retaining bolt in and ready - then get it[the wishbone] up [a jack or a box or your arm or foot or a helper]so the hinge bolt can be put in - a jack and that tightenerstrap works well to get it lined up and a big long punch to line it up is handy
dont tighten stuff but just get it in and ready - and then do the bushing bit inside the car - reemember the carpet retainers screw off but push on

g luck
