wheel hitting wheel arch

The wheel is hitting the wheel arch on the rear off side i have had the car
for a few months and it has steadly got worse it is a H reg 205 16 gti
Thanks

 

either you have a weak or broken coil spring or non original alloys that are
too wide for the car, incorrect tyres, etc,
jack it up and have a look. shouldnt be too hard to find the fault.

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,

 

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
