Does anyone have any ideas for when you mechanically max out your tie rodsbut you need an extra 5mm to get back to zero  for the full story: I hit concrete in the city the other day, bloody thing wasn't marked and I turned late..... popped a tire in the process  managed to limp to a garage rotated the tires now have an odd one on the back,I hit the front right it is now +5mm it was +9mm but it is now mechanically maxed out. any ideas? |

More than likely the rack has taken a hit and bent the tie rod.Jack it up and have a look round, see if you can see anything obvious. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

I would also check for damage to the subframe less likely to be bent but not impossible ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

What do you mean +5mm or +9mm? Doesn't mean anything to me. You need to replace what's bent which is probably inner and outer track rods and wishbone and then get it tracked up properly.________________________________________ Black power baby!

yep, left side looks close but right side is three quarters of a degree too upright, as is common with a glance against a kerb.looking at the king pin angle its way too low on the left too, not sure what specifically this points to though. the rh caster is 2 degrees out, which could point to a wishbone or strut bent back. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

If your a poor student that can't afford to maintain your 306 as said stop crashing or get a push bike! You'll never have any money owning one of these and thats without crashing! ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |
