Peugeot 106 Axle Replacement Parts

The Peugeot 106 ran from 1991 to 2003 and is generally split into two generations: the Phase 1 (1991–1996) and the Phase 2 (1996–2003), with the Phase 2 bringing a significant facelift and some changes to the running gear. When sourcing an axle, telling your breaker which phase your car is will help narrow down the right part quickly. Always confirm against your registration to be sure.

The Phase 1 (1991–1996) and Phase 2 (1996–2003) 106 share the same basic platform, but the facelift in 1996 brought changes that can affect running gear compatibility, so an axle crossing that boundary is not a guaranteed swap. You should confirm with the breaker whether the specific axle from a Phase 1 car is a direct fit for your Phase 2 vehicle, quoting your registration. Never assume a fit without checking.

Yes, engine size can matter because larger-engined 106s were sometimes fitted with uprated brakes as part of the axle assembly, meaning a rear or front axle from a 1.1 car may differ from one out of a 1.4 or 1.6. When contacting a breaker, always quote your engine size alongside the generation so they can match the correct spec. Do not assume axles are interchangeable across engine sizes without the breaker confirming it.

For standard trims like the XR and XT, trim level does not drive axle fitment — what matters is the generation and engine size, not the badge. However, the Rallye and GTi are performance models and may have uprated suspension or braking components built into the axle assembly, so an axle from one of those cars may not be a straightforward swap onto a standard 106. Confirm with the breaker against your registration if you are crossing between standard and performance variants.

Yes, for front wishbones and any sided components, NS (nearside, passenger left) and OS (offside, driver right) are not interchangeable, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. For a rear beam axle the side question is less relevant as it is a single crossmember, but confirm with your breaker exactly which component you are after. Getting the side wrong means the part will not fit correctly.

Both a 1998 and a 2001 106 fall within the Phase 2 generation (1996–2003), so they are broadly the same generation which is a positive sign for compatibility. However, you should still confirm with the breaker against both registrations, particularly if the engine sizes differ, as brake specifications could vary. Never rely solely on year alone — always have the breaker verify the part against your specific vehicle.
