Second Hand Peugeot 108 Steering Rack

The Peugeot 108 was produced from 2014 to 2022 as a single generation, with a facelift arriving in 2018 that brought cosmetic updates rather than significant mechanical changes to the steering system. In most cases a steering rack from a 2014–2017 car and one from a 2018–2022 car will be the same unit, but because the facelift boundary does exist you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying. Never assume fitment across that 2018 line without checking.

The 2016 car sits in the pre-facelift period (2014–2017) and the 2019 car is post-facelift (2018–2022), so you are crossing the 2018 facelift boundary. The steering geometry and rack itself are widely considered unchanged across that update, but whether a specific used rack swaps directly is something you must confirm with the breaker against both registrations. A good breaker will cross-reference the part numbers to give you a definitive answer.

The 108 was offered with 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre petrol engines, and steering rack specification can vary between these because the heavier or more powerful engine option sometimes requires a different setup to suit the weight distribution. Always tell the breaker both your engine size and your registration so they can match the correct unit. Do not assume a rack from a 1.0 will simply drop into a 1.2 car without checking.

The Peugeot 108's trim levels — which included Active, Allure, and Roland Garros among others — do not affect the steering rack specification, as trim relates to interior and cosmetic features rather than running gear. A rack pulled from an Active should be mechanically equivalent to one from an Allure of the same engine size and year range, so do not pay a premium purely on trim grounds. Confirm the engine size and year match with the breaker, and that is what matters here.

The 108, Aygo, and C1 are platform-sharing siblings built under the joint Toyota–PSA project, and they share a great deal of running gear including the steering rack. A breaker experienced with this group of cars will often be able to supply a rack sourced from any of the three, but you should still ask them to confirm compatibility against your specific registration and engine code rather than assuming they are identical in every variant. Cross-referencing part numbers is the safest route before parting with money.

Ask the breaker to confirm the donor car's registration, engine size, and year so they can verify it sits within the same 2014–2017 pre-facelift or 2018–2022 post-facelift period as your vehicle. Check whether the rack is electric power-assisted, as all 108s used EPAS, and ask about any visible damage to the rack body, gaiter tears, or play in the pinion. A reputable breaker will be happy to provide those details and many offer a short parts warranty, which is worth asking about before you commit.
