Sterring Knuckle Dead

Recommended Posts

Guest gtigor

sterring knuckle on my 205 is drop dead - tha car is scary, on the right turn it instantly goes on a smaller radius - have to be ready to correct :D

 

will a sterring knuckle from any other PSA model fit my 205GTI?

The strut angle is different on the 306 upright.

You'll have to use them on both sides or not at all.

sounds not much better though :angry:

buy another used 306 one for >$100 or return the one i bought and order new 205GTI one for 220 Euros???

 

and if i fit both 306 ones - what will be the incline of the wheel? not a STD 205?

 

i am starting to regret i have started returning this car to life...

Not sure exactly, but probably about 0.5 degrees. When I fitted one of each, it looked like an oval racer!
