Correct, it doesn't really matter but some 205 arms end up about 1.5mm a side narrower than a 306 arm. Not worth losing sleep over though :p

I know it does not matter for camber, my question was related to the toe. Or will the modified trailing arms have certain degrees of toe regardless of the original amount?

Just a quick bump to say I'll be at pugfest this year if anyone wants to drop off any uprights or rear arms to save yourself the postage 😉

Cheers, Allan

In the future is it possible to replace the ball joint on 309 bones at all, as a service ?

No it isn't, you can't get the joints asfaik and they're an utter bas**rd to get out anyway. There's a company around that fits spherical bearings (not rose joints) into standard oe arms. Obviously various companies make rose jointed bottom arms too. It's not something we're looking at doing though.

I bought a lovely supercharged Rallye from a member here earlier this summer and about the only thing I want to change about it is to add some negative camber in the front.

I'm looking for -2,5 degrees, is it possible to get that much with only the hubs?

We can machine hubs with up to -5degrees depending on the hub casting. All hubs will take -4 though so -2.5 is no problem.

No bumpsteer kits sorry.

Cheers, Al

Depends on wheels, tyres,struts, springs etc etc. 2.25 dampers with standard wheels and tyres will take -3, although you may need to run shorter springs depending on length/poundage.
If you let me know what you're running I can give you a rough idea of what you'll get away with

As I've said numerous times, bumpsteer and roll centre kits aren't available, I'll post up as soon as there is any progress.

George, arb bushes are available, I'll send you payment details when I'm back at work next week. Wheel offset depends on width,diameter, tyre size aswell as what dampers you're using.
A standard dampered 205 with standard wheels and tyres will take -3plus negative camber. A standard 306 gti6 is the same off the top of my head.

Ok thanks Alan, I dont use oe wheels for the 205, I use c5 and another set of 7j with et10 iirc and always use 195's. Its the 7j im more worried about but since iirc standard wheels are et8 they should be enough.

Ill aim for -3 then all being well, pm me the price to buy 205 hubs done to match -3 with 309 bones when you are ready with the bushes. Ill save the current ones as spare set, makes it easier if you do have a spare set that is.

Im still waiting on the ARB to be splined, they are waiting on others to do aswel so they are waiting to do them all in one go.

Standard wheels are et19. What tyres do you use and is it a road car? -3 is alot for a road car, you'll get poor tyre life on the front, the backs not as sensitive. We'd recomend that much for a track car running 1b tyres.

The price is £145 to machine the hubs, if I source the hubs price is dependant on what I can get, they'll be supplied to you in a used condition and may need new bearings fitting which I can do at extra cost.

I'm thinking of the SL434's being ET8, the ones I have are defo ET10 using R888, Goodyear Eagle F1's. The car is a fast road semi track car so with your advice i'll go for -2 if that's the best max amount without overuse of the tyre tread.

Yes that's fine, I will be fitting new bearings in myself anyways after being painted up. Im fine with the hubs as long as they are the 1.9 type, we'll see what we can sort out with them.

The hubs will just be 16mm items not necessarily off a 205 as they're getting difficult to source.
