I recently swapped my axle with another.
Ive only just noticed this.
Front
And rear
I'm wondering if it has recently been lowered?

looks like it, are you parked on a level surface?

Rear is always lower than the front. Only looks like a 30mm difference.

thought the rear was higher hence the car being on a forward slant?

Nope, back is lower on an unmodified 206 (from my 2 206's and several others cars on here)

Pics were taken on my flat driveway.
The new axle was from a 180, I don't know if they are lowered from factory?

i thought the back of the car was a bit higher but the wheel arch just comes a bit lower down to the wheel, as it looks like the car is leaning to the front a bit standerd
