Spare Wheel Carrier For Citroën C8 And Peugeot 807
It May Have A Different Wheel Attachment Type Than Shown In The Photo, But Is Fully Compatible
Fully Functional – Tested
Heavy‑duty spare wheel carrier designed for Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807 vans. This OEM‑style bracket secures the spare wheel under the vehicle and works with the factory winch/tensioning system. The carrier is built to resist road vibration and carry the OEM spare safely during everyday use. Commonly searched by part numbers, this item is a straightforward replacement for worn, corroded or damaged mounts and helps restore secure spare‑wheel retention.
Key Features
- Direct fit for Citroën C8 and Peugeot 807 (factory mounting points).
- Compatible with several OEM part numbers — often used as a one‑to‑one replacement.
- Robust steel construction with factory mounting interfaces.
- Supplies and secures the spare wheel in the factory location; fits original winch system.
How It Fits And What To Expect
The bracket mounts to the vehicle subframe or body points under the rear cargo area and interfaces with the factory spare‑wheel winch/cable. Visual appearance of the attachment or retaining hardware may vary between production batches; this does not affect compatibility as long as the mounting points match the vehicle. When replacing, check the winch cable, retaining bolt and rubber cushions for wear and replace if necessary.
How To Replace
- Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake and chock the wheels.
- Lower the rear cargo floor panel or access cover to reach the spare assembly and winch mechanism.
- Release the spare wheel from the winch and support it while loosening the retaining bolt and unfastening the carrier mounting bolts.
- Remove the old carrier, clean mounting surfaces and inspect for corrosion or damaged threads.
- Fit the replacement bracket, secure mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s recommended tightness, reconnect the winch cable and stow the spare correctly.
- Operate the winch several times to confirm smooth movement and that the wheel seats securely.
Why This Part Fails
Most common causes of failure are long‑term corrosion from moisture and road salt, seized or stretched winch cable, impact damage from road debris or improper previous repair, and fatigued welds or mounting tabs. Failure typically presents as loose or rattling spare wheel, inability to raise or lower the spare, or visible rust and cracked mounting points.
Maintenance And Longevity
Lifetime depends on operating environment. In regions with heavy road salt, expect accelerated corrosion; regular inspections (annually or during service intervals) will extend service life. Replace corroded fasteners and treat exposed metal with appropriate corrosion protection during installation.

Installation Recommendations
Use correct hand tools and a torque wrench for final tightening. Replace heavily corroded bolts and apply anti‑seize to threads where appropriate. Inspect the winch cable and drum for wear; if the cable is damaged or the drum is corroded, replace those components together with the carrier. After installation, verify that the spare wheel is securely retained and that the winch operates smoothly.
Why Install This Replacement
Restoring a damaged or corroded spare wheel carrier returns safe spare‑wheel retention, prevents the spare from detaching or rattling, and ensures reliable access to the spare when needed. Correct fitment to the OEM points preserves vehicle safety and prevents additional damage to the underbody or wiring.
