HelloI have a problem with car geometry (S16 1995) Front camber L -0,16’ R -0,19’ (Instead of -0,50’) Caster L +2,10’ R 2,01’ (instead of +3,15’) Does anyone know what affect caster ? New Top mounts(PAS) P-bushes changed Subframe not bended Maybe Hubs need change ? Wrong balljoints? (Shorter) I know that i have different hubs but looks that the left one is from an earlier model (ph1) and the right one is from Ph2-3 What should i check? Thanks |

I was once missing one bolt and car pulled to the right on acceleration and to the left on braking. ________________________________________ My car park:'96 Sigma Blue XSi6 '98 Diablo Red GTi6 '99 Onyx Black S16 All RFS powered!

Can it be you accidentally swapped the left and right shock?Suspension can be very weird. I had wheelhubs refurbed and fitted to my GTI. Changed the OEM shocks for Bilstein B8 with Eibach lowering springs, and the lower wishbones while we were at it. We did not change anything of the steering rack… and after fitting the new parts, the car had massive toe-out! A simple alignment and everything was fine again. But we still do not know how this happened… ________________________________________ My car park:'96 Sigma Blue XSi6 '98 Diablo Red GTi6 '99 Onyx Black S16 All RFS powered!

You should use similar hubs left and right. There quite a few variations between the 306 models.________________________________________ My car park:'96 Sigma Blue XSi6 '98 Diablo Red GTi6 '99 Onyx Black S16 All RFS powered! Plus various other Peugeots |

I think that thats impossible(to fit wrong sides the struts,also now the hubs and balljoints are 100% the same and correctAlso the toe was adjusted(wheel aligment done) The topmounts seems to be PAS but a little bit flat and different shape,nevertheless they sit backwards Is subframe a little bit movable? to give me that 1 degree of caster Also i dont think that something is bent, If something was bent or wrong,the problem will be from one side and not from both sides,for example if the right wishbone was bent,right caster angle will be wrong and left side caster will be fine, so i think that is something else, but what? |
