Good morning,

My 2005 PEUGEOT 206 CC CC 1.6 i 16V Coupé Cabriolet 110hp Quiksilver suffered a bad blow. Driving in my neighborhood, wanting to avoid a vehicle driving in the middle of the road, I was forced to avoid the "encounter" to swerve to my right and there my two right wheels front and rear hit the edge of a curb. Result two burst tires and since then I have noticed an abnormal noise on the front right wheel.

A friend tells me it might be a triangle. But how can I verify this?

Thank you for your answers.

Kind regards and have a nice day.

Hello, what would be good is to indicate the torque tightenings for each screw/nut.

Hello, a parallelism is necessary

I also replaced my front left and right wishbones and now my steering wheel remains tilted to the left and if I put it at its 0 axis the car goes to the right... this is the first time I've seen this.
