now, after having the car for 15 months or so, i understand that there is a small hydrolic ram/piston thing toprevent the wheel from hitting the gearbox... well... mine is not doing that, had my passengers side wheel off and i have a nice polished bolt on the end of the gearbox and a small groove worn in my brand new tyre. what can i do to sort this?? cheers ________________________________________ 1997 blaze GTI-6 bought january '11 £800 Spend to date on parts £827.88 |

It may help, but i'd make sure your tracking is right, with almost equal adjustment on both tres ________________________________________ FRESHLY RE-FURBISHED GTI BEAMSFITTING AND LOWERING AVAILABLE.

Just because your wheels are in track doesn't mean the rack is centred, if you get me. Say both wheels are actually pointing 2 degrees to the right, they're technically parallel but the ends of your steering rack will be in the wrong place  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

as mentioned, most tracking monkeys just tweak one side disregarding the effects it has on a car with relatively precise steering like a pug.also, it could well be that your PAS ram has been replaced at some point with a standard unit which does not limit r/h lock. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Or you are using wider wheels / tyres, or the brake discs aren't quite as thick. Could be engine mounts are worn too. All sorts!Mine used to do the same thing on standard everything too. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Or in the hot weather your gearbox has melted and is now an inch wider  ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

I'm running 17 x 7 wheels and tyres and don't have this issue.As stated, check the threads on both TREs and make sure they are pretty equal. I take it the car drives in a straight line to start with? ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
