someone I know is having problems sourcing a rear beam for his berlingo. not being majorly clued up on citroens I wondered if anything else from the peugeot/citroen stable uses the same axle?

The Peugeot Partner is the identical PSA offering - based on ZX/306 floorpan.

so would a 306 beam essentially be the same??

nope, only the front is 306, rear is a raised 405 beam.
theres loads of berlingos and partners about so he shouldn't have any issues finding one.

where is he looking? if the rest of the van is good then I would personally rebuild the unit he has already, I know most garages would baulk at this as they haven't got a bloody clue or the tools to do them, realistically it wont cost a great deal more to rebuild than it would to swap for another used unknown unit.
Xsara picasso axle is the same unit too, not sure if the height is set the same, I know the 405 axle is sat a good 90mm lower than the vans!! there's a lot of these being scrapped these days so getting one shouldnt be hard at all.

not sure where he has looked but if a picasso unit will fit that could open options.. mind you the yard could be calling amyway as the old thing is on 300k plus!

ahh that mileage is nothing really, the higher milers are the good ones!
I did check up the part numbers and they are the same axle on a picasso.

I remember a mate had issues with his Berlingo rear axle, he fitted the replacement axle with two grease nipples and filled the whole thing with the cheapest grease he could get. Apparently this is a common solution to a common problem with these.

funnily enough grease nipples don't work, you cant get the grease in to the bearings as they have seals either side so you just fill up the trailing arm or crossmember.
the only solution is a rebuild every 5-10 years.

You can get the bearings without the seals, the grease nipple works a treat then.
