Billy_boy 0 Posted July 2, 2006 hi guys i was jus gettin into my 205 GTi this morning and noticed that the rear drivers wheel was very close to the arch. i have had the car lowered 35mm front and rear. i could fit my whole hand between the tyre and arch on the rear passenger side but not even a finger on the drivers side... so i took it over to a friends house to see if we could find out what it was. when i parked up again it was fine, both sides were even as they should be we think its the handbrake... any ideas?

jackherer 543 Posted July 2, 2006 (edited) your rear beam is dead, if the wheel is touching the arch its going to be beyond reconditioning too (edit: I just reread that, do you mean the outer arch?) Edited July 2, 2006 by jackherer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billy_boy 0 Posted July 2, 2006 yea i meant the outer arch sorry. it has been ok this afternoon though, seems to come and go. facing uphill its fine and level ground its fine just facing down hill it does it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted July 2, 2006 sounds like one of the two handbrake cables has stretched or snapped maybe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
