Kinda self steering
Ok I've decided that this isn't the road, or that it's me but I'm stumped as to what to check or even if it's an
issue
When taking right turns at a decent pace (say 35-55mph, and no I'm not caning it into corners) there's a... moment... It's like
halfway through the corner I hit a slight dip, the left side feels like it drops a little and turns into the corner a touch more. Then as I come out
of the bend I can feel it "move back"
I've given the whole car a damn good shaking and I can't see anything move, wobble or flex, nothing seems out of place or broken.
I've been noticing it for about 6 weeks now.
Any ideas? Could this signify something (or nothing) or is it a common thing with a 206?

A shake by even the studiest of blokes does nothing to replicate the kgs of load transfer a bushe is subjected to. Take it to a garage as most
pneumatic wobble plates to recreate (ish) road stresses.

I had a similar thing with an escort mk6. On checking underneath I found the bolts holding the wishbones were loose (front bolt on both sides). After
retightening them, problem went. So another session underneath to replace the nuts and bolts with new ones and now it's ready to take le mans.

Just had a memory flash. I seem to remember 206's having issues with the rear axle beam or mounts? Worth a look.

Sounds like a front outer lower ball joint to me.
