Sorry should read too big, they are 20mm internal diameter, a bit of a sloppy fit but do go on.
I bought the 2.99 ones off ebay and yeah they dont seem to be a snug fit hmmmm. Hasnt cured the squeaking and knocking either so i wouldnt recommend them. Wilk buy them off here from someone who knows what they are on about lol.
Also a quick question, i see these are meant to cure a knock which happens on full lock? i cant say ive noticed that kind of knock but my suspension squeaks when going over rough roads, speed humps etc. Will it cure this?

Only just seen this thread! Spotted you on eBay Dan and ordered some last week; just fitted two days ago during service/MOT time.
The whole car feels much more solid through the wheel and no wobbly creaking nonsense on full lock any more; great fix!
Cheers.

I was think of getting some solid top mounts, would it be a waste of time getting these and fitting if im getting solid mounts soonish?
Pretty much a waste if you're getting top mounts!

Thanks for reply. getting it ready for track.

And Renault have revised the top mounts, so you don't need them anymore.
How do I know if I have the revised mounts?
if I'm on the originals why would these not be any use.
Take the top hat off and see if you have a 16mm nut or a 21mm nut.
The revised top mount has a new spacer design in it to stop the knocking.

makes it worse half the time. Removed loads of these washers because they have caused knocking too
I've never had a set make a noise afterwards.

This.
Just fitted some "revised top mounts" where the top hat and 21mm nut are seperate.
My kit didnt come with the new style collar, so i used the old collar and 17mm nut. If anything teh top hats are closer to the strut tower now. HOWEVER i now have no squeaky noise on full lock (like a used to), and have no knocks (never had them anyway).
