Rear beam ...the good and the bad
#6
Camber doesn't look that bad to me Wink
On my old 405 I had started to wonder why the damn thing was starting to 'wander' or tramline and feel generally unstable.
Anyway I had a look round the car and noticed a lot of camber on the rear wheels along with no tread left on inner edges of rear tyres.
I needed a quick fix so I went down to my local indy peugeot/citroen garage cum scrappy and asked if they could jack it up and fit a good complete 2nd hand rear beam etc (after all its only a few bolts innit Smile) - the guy said ''never thought of doing that before'' 
Absolutely transformed the handling of the car which was on about 200,000 miles at that time.
The other clue that something was amiss with the beam was rust particles coming out of the radius arm hinge/bearing area.
