Went driving today, nothing really happened, but when i got back my mates pointed out my back passenger side wheel was at a angle? it was worse then the other side and i remember having a thread problem with that tyre also. Could this cause it? Plus I wondered if camber actually helped the car

Your rear axle could be shot or its been bashed into a curb at some point dependent on if the wheel is in at the top or bottom, could be other things too, take it to a garage.

Sounds like the axle is shot and needs replacing.
If I remember right you can't get camber on the 206

Or if you go sideways into a roundabout  
Probably between £300-£600 for a refurb or over a grand for a new one at pug (although that was for a 180).
Check fleabay.

The thing is i wouldnt expect the wheels to point in towards the bottom if the bearings in the axel were shot, garage time me thinks.
