#1: One tyre on a lean Author: deebee, Location: BirminghamPosted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 8:47 am ---- 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

If I remember right you can't get camber on the 206

I bet you can if you bend the axle into a banana like my made did on his saxo jumping it at 70mph

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.

#10: Re: One tyre on a lean Author: deebee, Location: BirminghamPosted: Mon Mar 12, 2012 10:58 am ---- nah but I've had the car for about 7 months and only just noticed it
#11: Re: One tyre on a lean Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2012 11:03 am ---- 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.
