Handbrake?

Recommended Posts

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 :unsure: we think its the handbrake...

 

any ideas?

your rear beam is dead, if the wheel is touching the arch its going to be beyond reconditioning too :unsure:

 

(edit: I just reread that, do you mean the outer arch?)
