Hi:

When my Mi16 goes over a bump there is a knock . I 'm guessing
that the 5" round rubber piece and the 2 pieces of steel it sits
between atop the front springs in the 405s is worn out. Peugeot
wants $74 Can for this rubber and the nut and a couple washers.
I need 4. The big question is has anyone ever attempted a FIX. I am
contemplating building up these rubbers with either windshield
urethane glue or a couple layers of innertube. Any comments ??
