   Get a refurbished one rather than buying another and going through the effort of fitting or paying to fit another thats also fucked or might last a week.

   Not many people get second hand beams. Thinkk it was Yorkie on here who had about 9 axles that were second hand and all of them were fucked when he fitted them or didnt last long at all and ended up getting a refurb off IM Axles, could have saved alot of money!

   They all fit each other.
   
   The actual beams are the same.
   
   The trailing arms either have fitment for disc or drums
   
   Also ABS sensors on the VTS.
   
   Minor modals of the 1.1 dont have ARBS.
   
   Theyre the only variations.

    yeh you can off any 106 or saxo. However the pins that are in the beam are often worn and these need replacing, which not many places offer this service on as they dont have the quipment or the ability to do so.

    Yeh wouldn't get the ones already removed of a car, i bought 3 and they where all fucked. Waste of time and money. only other 'cheap' option is look out for im axle refurbed one second hand, have seen them before.

    They deliver for like £18 mate think that on exchange basis with collect and deliver.
    
    Im sure its about £360 for a beam before exhange basis is deducted though for a full refurbed beam ready to bolt to the car.
