Just FYI.

Track Rod ends were replaced recently
Drop links and top mounts were replaced at time of lowering but with unipart ones. Probably done 15k on them.

When you say, sensor, if you mean from the tracking machine, It was done by Pro tyre, who in Gloucester have the best kit going.

You Can also see the difference in Camber just by eye.

Hope any of my information can help.

Thanks for the input Tom with the information and the pictures.

I'm going to be jacking it up later today and getting the wheels off and checking everything over.

I doubt this car has been built like this... only because I've had silly amounts of 206s whether they're damaged or not and I've never seen camber like this...

I'm getting rid of the hideous wheels off it this weekend with a set of Pro Race 1's. I'm also buying an FK AK Supertech Street Coilover kit which I'm buying as a precaution incase it's got a bent strut. The reason I've bought the kit is because no one actually does individual shocks from the eibach kits.

The wheel on full lock has rubbed a large chunk out of the arch liner from where it has been catching and the car is pulling to one side when my dad was putting the brakes on.

Not a problem Smile

Hideous wheels? Surprised No they are the true 180 wheels Razz Hahaha.

Im looking forward to seeing the end result :).

In all fairness, I regretted not having coilovers as I always wanted the front 5-10mm lower.

I have never looked that close under a 206 but does the front subframe have larger holes than bolts holding it in place.

Some cars do and moving the subframe will affect camber and castor.

It will of course affect camber on both sides increasing one and decreasing the other. Is that an option?

Also are you 100% it isn't just a buckled wheel as hinted at in earlier posts as that would fool the alignment equipment.

Another reason, check for play in the wheel bearing eg spin the wheel up and hold the spring to feel for roughness

Place a spirit level against the hub (disc removed) and see what it looks like. Crude but does work
