wheel hitting wheel arch

If it's on the rear then your trailing arm bearings are worn. Better to replace the entire rear suspension assembly as it take about a day to remove a trailing arm and then it can't normally be repared.

It's a simple enough job, shouldn't take an experianced mechanic more than 1.5 hours.

Either get one from a scrapyard or get a new one. c.£500 independant or £1000000000 from peugeot.

The GTis have slightly wider rear units to accomodate the alloys so don't use one from a standard 205.

I know all this from experiance.

Hasn't got coil springs on the back mate.
I'd check the rear radius arm bearings, but these usually make the tyre
touch the inner arch at the top, unless it only happens under hard braking
and cornering in one specific direction. Whatever it is, it's not good, get
it checked out sharpish.

thought he said front....mate
in this case the torsion bar is weak. have it checked as its possible that
the splines might be worn or the bar is losing its strength,<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

if the wheel is hitting the top of the arch then it will be a worn or blown shock absorber but it does have a bump stop in place so it wont damage the car it self. if it is the trailing arm then get a second hand axle but dont pay more than 50-60 notes for one. as it a waste of time and money trying to repair an axle. when it far cheaper just to replace it you will learn that with peugeot's
