hi guys. i recently had my phase 3 306 lowered by 40mm. i was wondering if my rear dampers needed to be changed, and if the rear beam needs anything changing etc? any other general advice will be greatful thanks.

the car drops very low with even one person on the back... so im not sure if the dampers are gone or not, apart from them one wheel, passenger side has slight camber, this same sides wheel bearing needs changing too! how much work am i looking at here

oh dear! i shud really look into getting that bearing changed! thanks guys for your input! wat parts do i need to order to change the wheel bearing? and is it a big job to do? i dont trust my local garages around here lol they tell u things which dont mean anything, in other words rob u!!

lol dont worry abt it mate, im new to this sight although ive had my car nearly 2 years now im still learning... i was told these guys kno best oh and if u have any input to my situation feel free.................

thats true, i never thort that im sure my dampers are gone beacuse they dont hold no tension at all... when i lowered the car is was ok for a few weeks i could have 2-3 ppl in the back and it was fyn, but recently ive noticed it drops really low with even one person in the back. i just need to kno wat parts i need to buy to sort this rear bearing out, and if it will sort out the camber on the one wheel :S dont fancy changing a rear beam :-|

What do you currently have on the front? You don't need 21mm TBs or solid rear mounts on a road car. I would personally buy new standard mounts, get a Hybrid Spoox / Ash rear ARB and get the best dampers you can afford. Gaz are ok, nothing special. You can get a normal TB'd car to go awfully quickly around corners trust me.

You do need to do the front dampers ideally with some of the same rate or make as well.

To the OP:
New standard dampers can only help. I would jack the car up on both sides with the handbrake off and move the wheels around to see if you have any obvious play in the bearings. If the wheel moves without the arm moving its the stub axle bearing, if the arm moves its the beam.

Nothing to see here

hi guys just an update. i went to my local garage today and had the car checked over. the wheel bearing does have play in it, but very little. and one of he dampers is weak too. the slight negative camber: i was advised that nothing can be said untill the car is striped from that side?

ive have been quoted

not good news, how would i go about to fix this, the camber is not bad at all tbh. and the arm didnt have play in it? wot sorts of parts will i need and any indication on prices? the car is a 1.6 meridian P3.
