    Does the rear beam need refurbishing in Trophies?

    As above. In 205 Gti's it is something that needs to be done at some point as the trailing arms wear out where the bearings sit, as a result they pit and you get negative camber and the beam is not workign as it should. I know the design between the 2 cars is different though as the 205...
