This is a great rear beam rebuild guide with images embedded in it.  It's for the 205 but the beam is nearly identical to the 306. Just ignore the flexible  mount bit - The mounts on the 306 beam bolt on. https://www.205gtidrivers.com/articles/a...guide-r66/

Hi and thanks for the links, got them downloaded for offline viewing later.
I haven't noticed any obvious camber issue, but might invest in a level and find some level ground, I am hoping to find a measuring point on both sides for checking the sag, if it is permanent, one other time I parked and it looked OK.
Does the collapsing happen fairly quickly after a bearing siezing because of rust then? Yes the vechile has been mostly on dry clean roads. Myself, I have been avoiding both rain and gravel roads. It sounds like the axle tube would benefit from grease nipples.
