The wee 206 has developed a problem - its wearing the outside of the nearside tyre.
Pressure is checked weekly and is spot on as recommended.
There's also a slight noise from same side at <3mph on heavy lock, a sort of rumble - but doesnt happen at normal speeds.
No other symptoms, maybe a very, very slight drift to the left, makes no difference to the car being under drive or freewheeling and its straight as you like under braking.
So based on that, I'm thinking perhaps some laser wheel alignment would be a good idea - but symptom wise, looking at a top shock mount or a damaged track rod end maybe ?
At least its come at service time anyway, any work I can bargin with the garage a bit - ie if you fix XYZ for £xxx, you can do the oil and filters as well...
