    Hello,
    The rear radial arm bearing on the back of my 306TD have worn, causing
    the wheel to rub on the wheel arch. Because of this I'm going to have
    to change the bearings (which is a ball ache) or the subframe (doable
    but not my idea of fun). What I was wondering is if a 205 subframe is
    the same as a 306 subframe, cus I've still got the one from my old 205.
    At a quick glance they look similar but I'm unsure about the torsion
    bars being the same cus the 306 is heavier. Any thoughts on this would
    be very usefull.

    Also I've been having fun with the bottom ball joints on the front
    suspension. I've replaced them but I've still got play when the wheels
    moved in the 3 and 9 O'clock positions. Any idea why? I've already
    replaced all the subframe bushes and the subframe mountings are also
    fine. could it be the antidrop bar links?
