CityBug Replacing Anti Roll Bar drop Links With Poly Bushes Peugeot 107, Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1

[@VolodymyrNorden]

I had a Peugeot 107, I bought it for my wife, but it turned out that for the last 5 years I drove it on the Germany autobahn, a year ago I sold it because I went to Ukraine for the war, I took a lot of useful information about this car from your videos. Congratulations to your channel, friend 🤝❤️

Saved a lot of time doing both sides of my car as didn't have to split the lower joints. Thanks for the heads up on that method 👍👍

[@aaanton11]

Glad to help Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@cha1ny104]

Helpful thanks. Especially that changing both at the same time means you don't have to drop the ball joint out

[@aaanton11]

Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

I fitted exact same ones by taking both wheels of and using axel stands and separating ball joints on both sides at same time then fitted the links from the top with the lock nut on the bottom easily with loads of clearance..had to cut a bit bit off the bolts though as a little too long about half inch on each.... working well with just a slight more stiffness

[@aaanton11]

Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@struckoffdoc88]

Head under a strut wheels off no axle stands,jack only lifting. Reminds me of one of my AED shifts. Mainly because of all the paperwork for the coroner. Axle stands are for life !

[@aaanton11]

The probability of 2 jacks collapsing at the same time is unlikely, & at no time was I fully under the vehicle, but point taken Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Blimey they sold out quick! Went on easier than when I did it lol, fitted Febbi Bilstein parts last year but undid the ball joints.

Perfect video, have enough information now to have a crack at my own before the next MOT as these flagged as advisory on mine, what's the best way to of figuring out what pulley has a little rattle too, most noticable during colder weather

[@aaanton11]

If a Pulley is noisy chances its the water pump watch this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2rdiXqJaqiDr5Y Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@stevebeever2442]

Am I missing something here? When you lowered the car down to check if it was going to be ok there was loads of room so surely it would have been easier to put the bolts in the correct way

[@aaanton11]

There is no correct way round for the bolt, but yes it would have given more room, however the long thread would have been sticking down below the bottom arm so would still need cutting down to avoid catching it on a curb, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@Pes60]

According to the instructions that come with it,it does say to fit the bolt with the thread facing down.

[@Pes60]

Just fitted the same ones today.The offside one goes in from the top if you turn the steering,the nearside goes in with the wheels straight.I had both wheels on ramps with a bit of plywood under each wheel so they would turn easier.

Thank you for posting video found it very informative may have been a idea to locktite or put a locknut on the threads? but that's belt and braces.

After the axel stand gave more room , would the drop link bolt fit the other way so the nut at the bottom

[@keithletheren196]

Any chance you can do a video on where to use axle stands on the city bug front and back as so many people seem to disagree on this so I’m never sure who’s right. 😢

[@aaanton11]

Yes will do, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@tomthompson7400]

be wise to put the wheels you took off under the sills if your not bothering with stands ,,, its the difference between loosing toes and not , and lets you put a jack under the car again if it does go wrong

[@aaanton11]

Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@tomthompson7400]

@@aaanton11 its a simple thing , but boys it could make a huge difference on a bad day ,, I do the same when changing a wheel , theres always a wheel and tire under the car ,,, on a crappy jack at the side of the motorway on a wet night its the difference between a bad night and a tragedy ,,, and best of all little effort and no money involved.

[@tommitwatlegs]

I have a 108, I ordered normal anti roll bar links and they was longer than the original ones that was on, after 1000 miles I’m getting a grinding/ rubbing noise when I accelerate hard , mainly on a hill, I think it’s just catching on the drive shaft boot lock when the front end lifts , will this improved part fit on my 108?

[@aaanton11]

Yes, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Big Tip....dont go anywhere near a car that's not on axle stands

[@aaanton11]

Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@gavjlewis]

Thanks for the tip. Just been outside and realised my car is not on axle stands.😮 Don't worry I have now fixed it. 👍 I have a problem though, I have been driving it for an hour and it's still on my driveway! 😂

[@charlieoscar09]

Dont mess with karma and dont take the piss...Do the work correctly if you are doing tutorial videos. Especially considering the people driving these cars are maybe youngsters (First Cars) and crawling under one taking your advice, I mean you dont even mention safety. Just so we are clear Jack up the Car and immediately insert Car Stands then Chock the wheels that are still contacting the road/driveway. Only when you are 100% sure you have made it safe then proceed to work underneath. Dont be a Melon you could end up squished.

[@antisoda]

@@charlieoscar09 Yep. Even if you have all of the faith in the jacks, one day, some moron paying more attention to Candy Crush than the road might come barrelling into your driveway. Driving _or_ walking. :)

No way no axle stands lol sod that

If I will buy only polyurethane, without steel (bolts etc.) - is it fit to old bolts in Aygo/C1/107?

The old bolts and washers are usually corroded, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@csabazsinko3749]

Don't use NAPA branded replacement drop links. After 8 weeks, the rubber in the drop link was all rotten, split and looked worse than the original 18 year old ones. Dealer did give me full refund and I purchased genuine Peugeot ones

[@aaanton11]

Thats why I went for the poly ones, hopefully last well, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@wojciechwegrzyn9926]

I hope you are going to read my comment and reply as im interested about something else - not just axle stands missing 🤣 How those links performed in time? Did you have any provlems with noises from suspension? I am asking for this cause looks like anti roll bar sits closer to suspension arm with these links as spacer is smaller than in genuine ones. Didn't they touch each other? And how is driving? Didn't it make any difference due to anti roll bar position slightly changed? Going to upgrade mines i think as after replacing them with SKF a week ago, today one of links snapped in half...Quality of parts these days. Awaiting any reply which will be appreciated. Cheers Edit: Forget question about performing in time. I missed that you uploaded video an hour ago 🤣 For some reason I've seen 1 year ago 🤣 Rest of questions stil valid 😁

[@aaanton11]

No issues as when the car is in the air the anti roll bar is at its lowest point, not touching the bottom arm, when its on the road they sit higher, as for performance I notice no difference on the road, you might save a couple of 10ths on a track but for me they should last longer. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@wojciechwegrzyn9926]

@@aaanton11 I'm not racing in my Aygo so that's not the case. I'm making deliveries and I need reliable parts. These Honda links look way better built. Thanks for all your hard work on KZbin. I've done loads of small and bigger jobs watching your videos. And will defo try links from this video. The only problem, at the time you uploaded this video they're already sold out 🤣 but still available on eBay. Drive safe!

Nuts always on the bottom not the top so if the nut comes off the bolt stays in and doesn't fall out.

@@aaanton11 I enjoy your videos and thanks for making them.However you know it's not safe don't take a risk that is easily avoided, you had axle stands to hand as you used one to prop the wheel. If you are happy to risk it fine but you are setting a bad example for people watching, if you want to teach them to work on cars do it responsibly and safely or not at all.

[@paulstoakes466]

Irony is, you are wearing gloves to keep your hands clean and unharmed but they don't matter a jot when you are crushed. If you must work without axel stands then put something solid between the car and the ground like the two wheels you removed so that when the car falls you are only bone brokenly squashed and there is something for the fire brigade to slide out alive.
