Other parts to replace when getting damper refurbished

[keith185]

What is there that should be replaced on the front suspension assembly same time when getting the dampers refurbished?

Rubber mounts etc. Anyone got renault part numbers?

When my ball joint had play there was a knocking sound when going over rough/potholes.

Just had my ball joints replaced and the lower dogbone mount. Car feels loads better!

Going to look at all the mounts next, seems ok at oresent but they are on the refurb list ...

For me it was bad steering when going over un-even roads. And a knocking noise at slow speed as the front of the car bounced lightly up and down on an uneven road surface. Saying that though, since having them replaced the handling has never been the same so I guess I need a refurb. I will probably do the top mounts at the same time whilst they are accessible.
