All in all not too bad I reckon.
Rear toe isn't great but other than that fairly even.

rear axle wants adjusting but everything else ok really, I did my toe by using string lines and by measurement my rear was spot on, although it was set by skip browns so it should be really,________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6™ |

Not to my knowledge/service history. On 73k at the moment and I think it has had a gentle life. |

I was surprised the rear has that much camber as standard, i thought over a degree of -ve camber is for wace cars only.and Hondars with spoons super mega race arms. |

zx's look awesome. Never see any of them about at all.How come you asked if it's had rear mounts, is it easy to misalign the beam when you swap them over? |

not specifically that,. but wear in the front ones could cause the beam to sit off a little.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

The rear toe is just cos the beam isn't quite straight on the chassis. Bit of a front camber difference but nothing really to write home about. Guess you checked the tyre pressures before doing it?Should get mine done tomorrow - should run about -1.5 camber on the rear iirc. Thats what my impreza ran too. Breadvans look like they have a lot of camber as standard on the rear though? ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

is there a guide somehwere about how to align the rear suspension? (rear toe)I would like to fit new rear beam front mounts and I want the settings to be spot on! Are aftermarket beam mounts OK?

Slight bump to this. I think you might have been right Welsh one, I have recently developed an occasional knock which sounds like it's coming from the rear whilst setting off. Had the car on the ramp today and there is a tiny bit of sideways flex in the fronts and the rears do flex away from the car with not too much effort on a pry bar. Not as bad as I thought they would be but then i guess the weight of a car moving around is going to be a hell of a lot more than under 100kgs with a bar... |
