If not I guess you could get a sub frame dirt cheap from a scrap yard.
Yes, I've ordered a full strut and hub from a peugeot verve on the Same year as mine. I'll change all that over and see how it's looking.
Yes, sub frames are cheap as chips second hand. Are they easy to swap over? I would be working on a drive way.

I've got a subframe here if needed. Wouldn't be looking for much, I assume it would need to be posted to you though?
#18: Re: Negative camber on n/s front wheel. Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue May 28, 2013 10:05 am ---- Highly unlikely to be the subframe. If impact damaged it's more likely to give positive camber.

So once I've changed over strut and hub and it's still fooked, it's looking likely it's chasis damage then?

Pug's ain't that strong and all modern cars are designed to crumple on impact ...

206 has proven many times to be as strong as any other small car of the same era.
This one should have been checked on the body jig before repairs where started.
Nearly all accident damaged 206's are not worth bothering with repairing now as a straight car is cheap as chips.

#23: Re: Negative camber on n/s front wheel. Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri May 31, 2013 11:55 am ---- Definitely. and most likely. Any bend in the bodywork would be visible to the eye.

#25: Re: Negative camber on n/s front wheel. Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Fri May 31, 2013 12:17 pm ---- If you are changing one strut change them both from the same car.
#26: Re: Negative camber on n/s front wheel. Author: Paul76, Location: AndoverPosted: Sat Jun 01, 2013 1:27 pm ---- Changed the strut over today, everything is now straight. Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. Car must have taken a right good one to bend the stub axle.
#27: Re: Negative camber on n/s front wheel. Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Sun Jun 02, 2013 2:53 pm ---- It may not have been the stub axle bent. it could be anywhere in the strut unless you have looked and it is visibly the stub axle.
