wishbone

Hello all, I'm slowly bit by bit getting round to all the things I wanted to check/change on the T. My question today is about bushes and mounts. I'm sure one of them (at least) needs changing but I have no idea what types there are. Bushes, engine mounts, dogbone etc. Any good guide on what...

Just started to notice this more recently. It's not really apparent at speed, only occasionally showing itself but at low speed going over speed bumps and the like there's an obvious creak/crash from the front left of the car. It's definitely the left as I've made sure to go over speed bumps...

So, don't seem to be having much luck just now. One of my rear dampers packed in. New Sachs costing £250 from Renault! Rip off but hey ho. Now another issue that has started is a creaking coming from the front suspension. Only pronounced on full lock at low speeds. Strange feeling through the...

Absolutely gutted! After 7.5 years and 80k miles, I've had a coming together with a very solid old stone wall, and come off second best. Stuffed the NSF into the wall, no metal panel damage, airbags didn't go off, but the assessor stopped counting the damage at £3.5k without getting stuck into...

Just a couple of little bits i have lying around. -First is a Powerflex front wishbone poly bush kit, brand new in box, part number PFF60-301, will fit ph1 + 2 172's and also 182's including Trophy, maybe others if you check the part number on google or whatever. I'm going to build a racecar now...

Hi, my trophys on 31k and had the front dampers refurbished a few months ago by bg motorsport. The car is on mark fish springs with koni rear dampers. Ever since i got the dampers refurbished the springs creak "as if ur hearing them compress" when braking hard and then when u let off the...

At work rite now car up on the ramp I have bought two new renault 182 "extreme package" front shockers and am swapping them over cause trophy ones are going for refurb So the go staint on having little trouble with lenth and struttop mount

I'm a bit perplexed by this, within the last month or so, i've been getting loud twanging/donging noises when maneuvering. The other weekend i checked over the complete suspension, to make sure noting was loose. I found no faults, but i tried tightening the front damper assembly top nut inside...

Hi, Can anyone confirm the part numbers for the genuine Renault front wishbones and strut top kits? Thanks

when i pull away i get a knock from the front, when i change low gear i get the knock aswell like something is moving backwards as i pull away. after driving about 60 for a few mins the service trac light comes on. i know my suspension needs rebuilt but this wouldnt be the cause of it i dont...

Just want to check that this is the correct way round to fit them after i get the old bushes pressed out: [attachment=1:3i1l5ad2]29052011393.jpg[/attachment:3i1l5ad2] [attachment=0:3i1l5ad2]29052011394.jpg[/attachment:3i1l5ad2]

Righto, my front sachs started leaking so i've removed them from the car, sent them off to BG to be stripped, they've sent them back to me to be blasted and coated then i'm sending them back for refitting. While that's being done i'm working on the rest of the susp. Removed the arch liners and...

Just had the front dampers back from BG motorsports, and replaced the rear dampers and top mounts at the same time. Imagine my surprise to hear creaking still coming from the front suspension somewhere [-X I've done some digging around on here and people suggest replacing the ball joints at...

Good day chaps! My recent MOT revealed a leaking driver's side damper. So it's my intention to whip the shocks off, send them to BG for refurb, off which i have just emailed. Just a note, I emailed Mark Fish first, who basically said use BG as they have the market covered for this job. While...

Hi folks, I know there have been several threads on this topic and I have also looked on cliosport. I had been thinking I would get new ball joints without the wishbone and fit them to my trophy and at the same time fit uprated poly bushes to the wishbone. After reading on cliosport the...

OK, so last night i got the Geo done by a mates garage. Yes, they are a bodyshop, but when you are the authorised repairer for Lotus, Aston, Ferrari, Lamborghini & Pagani, you probably know how to set up a clio lol ... So, effectively, since we fitted the front suspension, the Toe has been out...

Hi all i went to replace my front lower ball joints this weekend i managed to do the one that was making a noise however the other one has the locking bolt seized in the hub so im going to take it to work and heat it up see if i can get it removed that way. If worst comes to worse i will have to...

Guys, your thoughts on the below please.. My T was serviced a number of months ago and has since covered approximately 1100 miles. Today it went for its MOT and failed on a ball joint. So my questions are... - Would you have expected a significant failure to occur within the space of a number...

Hi does anyone know the paint code for the trophy red ? Thanks in advance Leigh

Just recently my T has started making a few knocks and bangs, I have (what sounds like) the exhaust banging against the bumper when I go over any uneven road surface - but I don't think it is this due to the exhaust not moving much when you push it. Will have to investigate more! But I was...

.........seems to worse when manouvreing along my road in the mornings but not 100% sure what it is! Suspension still feels tight to an extent (although paranoid shocks need refurb), thought it may be a rear bearing? Any ideas?

what's everyone's suggestions as the where to buy the following... reno or others etc? Ball joints Aux belt and Kit Timing belt etc ? also powerranger - eta if i were to buy and have shipped to west yorks? #274 needs some tlc so i thought get everything done at the same time, including new...

I have a week of work soon, so I was thinking of getting the front dampers refurbished. However, having seen a new suspension setup on another car (more in a minute), I want to do some suspension mods at the same time. Ok, in my opinion, The car is far too soft, more so at the rear. This is...

I have a trade account with speedline UK which hasn't been used for AGES as i just don't have time to sell car parts any more on top of my main job & building various peoples track cars. Anyway i rang up earlier to order a new chrono for my track 106 as one of mine bit the dust in a high speed...

Sometimes when driving at low speed I can hear a quite squeeking noise coming from the front of the car. The T has only done 25k miles so I'm not sure what t could be. I notice it on a road surface thats un-even where it causes the front end to bounce/skip along such as on cobbles. Could it just...

:( Hello again. Hope you`re all well. I`m not...422 is cornering very badly now and not being a mechanic i thought i`d see what your thoughts on this problem are. (visit to garage planned for the end of the week) The problem is,the car cuts into corners much sharper than it used to do and...

Hi all I posted this on Cliosport.net, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips or buying guides for the Trophy ? I am looking at buying one and dont want to buy a dud !! Dave

Hi all, I know there's been a past discusion on the ball joints etc, but can't seem to find any details. Looking at past posts, it seems that people have just put up with Renault saying you need the complete lower wishbone with the 'BOLTED' on lower ball joint. Anyways, my car has only covered...
