Why haven't you used correct drop links? You have probably altered the antiroll bar geometry.

I think I'd be querying the "something that's been changed" rather than trying to cobble together bits from completely different cars.

Pretty sure all 206 droplinks are the same length ... so if it won't fit I'd suspect some suspension damage or badly fitted anti-roll bar ..

Sounds a bit drastic. What exactly is wrong?

Hi the problem is that it seems to have the wrong anti roll bar links on it as they are 280mm long now every 206cc in scrap yard has longer links now looking at the car today i think that the anti roll bar as been put on upside down as someone has tried to mod it ill take some pics now and upload
