The car is sitting very low and must be sitting on the bump stops as there is no bounce if a sit in the boot. What's that all about?
I drove it yesterday and it felt fine(!) and there were no bangs, creaks or groan's from the rear beam.
I'm sure some experts will be able to tell me what's likely to be wrong.

Thanks, I was out this morning to have a look at it. Looks like the trailing arm bushes are seized in the beam. The car was sitting low because I had a two people in the back and it didn't rise back up when they got out.
I'm going to strip the arms off it to see if the stub axles are goosed before I buy new bearings.
It was the car being low that confused me.

If they are so seized that they can withstand the tension in the torsion bars they must be completely knackered!

Sounds like its recon rear beam time - this beam sounds Donald ducked.

Yip, it will probably need a new beam but it costs nothing to strip it and have a look.
Bear in mind the car cost less than a new beam will. It's run on tight budget.

Well I tried to strip the trailing arms but the were seized on so rather than bugger about any further in bought a rebuilt beam from imaxle.
It arrived within 24 hours and for £170 delivered fantastic value. It's been blasted, painted fitted with new bearings and mounting bushes. I've just fitted it tonight so hopefully all will be well with the car on its test run tomorrow. Basically great service from imaxle.

I'd like to know how they remove them from the axle on a 206.

I watched mine being rebuilt and as far as I can remember they knocked them out with a hammer!

No idea, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too much hassle for an engineering company to run them off on a lathe.
