As standard should the rear wheels on a 206 have any camber on them?
I have noticed that my rear axel shows a very slight negative camber and was wondering if this is normal or not?
Thanks

Happened to a fellow 180 in Cape Town. His 180 looked lower that others and had a slight negative camber.
He ended up having to replace the whole rear beam which can be costly

Anyone else got any input? I basically just want to know if having a very slight negative camber is standard or if the axel is becoming worn

Nope, standard all round, it's only very slightly noticeable but you can tell by looking directly at the rear of the car

a small amount of negative camber is probally usual. Negative camber helps the tyres grib better in the corners. This negative camber will increase if the car is lowered.
If its an excessive amount and you are getting uneven wear on your tyres i would say there was an issue with your beam. if your not then carry on as normal.

has anyone with a standard suspension setup (i.e not lowered) got a picture of the rear of their car so i can see what the camber normally looks like?

get it measure when you do tracking next time or if you have a camber meter,
pics is the worse to show camber.
