so how is it done lol

RWD Pete

oh god last one i did were a 306 pretty sure theres a torques bolt in the rear axle once removed the torsion bar has to be knocked out of the splines then pushed back in to suit height which is a trial and error job, not a two minute job

rapidcossie

The bolt is usually SOLID! best to spray WD on its for a good few days then have a go.

You'll need a slide hammer to extract the torsion bar. You need to disconnect the shocks. Measure each side from the centre of the hub to top of the arch before you do anything though!
The torsion bar is splined on one end so once its disconnected you move the beam up to the desired position measuring as above on both sides to ensure they match. Relocate the torsion bar in position and refitting is the reverse of removal as haynes tell you!

I'll be honest and i've never done one but i'm going to attempt it on my 205 when time permits. I've got this from the haynes-manual-of-making-it-look-easy and (you may laugh) an episode of wheeler dealers. Its the theory anway.......

My wheels are Cromodora magnesium centrelock 8,25x19"s You dont even want to know the price, and even if you did it wont help much because they stopped making them years ago

Torsion bar definate, age of the car dont matter in the slightest, one of my mates has done shit loads and some go easy some dont. Most dont!!!! Fom what i remember on the 206's 2 splines lowered is the best option as 3 looks uber cool and euro but function is a problem.
