Replace all the worn out bits ? Lower arm bushes, drop links, ball joints, top mounts new or uprated shocks and refurb the rear beam  Oh track rod ends as well |

As Bowen says, replacing bushes etc is the first thing and will generally tighten the car back up. From there, lowering the front by around 30mm, lower the rear to match and refurb the beam whilst you're there. In my opinion, these cars benefit hugely from upgrading to solid rear beam mounts over the standard passive steer rubber ones, although others prefer the standard setup so it's more a personal preference thing.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
