Hi,

some people say the GTi 180 axle is unique as it offers camber and different toe settings. However, the part numbers for the GTi 180 axle and the 206 SW/Estate axle are completely identical, so I wonder if they really are different or not.
Any help welcome.

As far as I am aware the axles are the same across the board although the 180 may be different as it has strenghting bars that attach to the middle.

No, GTi 180 has them and Estate has them. Only difference I know of are TB size and ARB size. But often people say they are still diefferent and I don't know how....

Any 206 rear axle is rigid and non-adjustable. You get camber toe and what have you when it starts packing up Very Happy

The 180 rear axle has thicker torsion bars, and always has rear discs. Both share the strengthening bars.
