Here's one for you now. The guy from Febi told me not to fit either of the two I have to the car and to return them to the place I bought them. He said that Renault do not make that part separately for the 172/182 and that it has to be bought as a complete wishbone set [as in the Renault Parts...

Massive thanks again here... and you've got Cup front suspension on yours ?

Thanks so much for that... they use the 12mm mounting bolts, right ?

The saga continues... I'm trying to buy the correct one of these and was speaking to somebody at Febi who told me that they don't manufacture them for the Cup suspension... and that Renault don't have a part number for the Cup versions either ??!!?? What manufacturer's parts are you guys using...

Thanks so much for that, makes sense.

Do you mean Cup and non Cup or just all 182s use the larger ones ?

Just a silly question here. I bought a pair of Febi bottom ball joints from two different suppliers on eBay and have been sent different sized versions of the same part... one has slightly larger mounting bolts and holes than the other... even though they're supposedly the same Febi part...

That's great guys... thanks so much.

Thanks so much Louis... I was looking at that a little earlier and then went to the Febi parts finder to discover a plethora of different options for the 182 - with and without PAS. I might shoot Fish Brothers a quick message to see if this is the right one for my cup-pack car.

That makes a lot of sense. When I've had that before on other cars it was generally the strut top. I was getting the car MOTed yesterday and the guy doing it said he though it was the inner or outer ball joint on the track rod... and while it could be that, it's under a lot less load that the...

I have a 2005 Clio 182 with the cup pack suspension and need to replace the track rod ends as either they [or the inner joints] are making a creaking noise when I turn the wheel. The car has power steering and I was planning to buy Febi parts. The track rod ends are fine - there's a single...

70mm 45 degree elbow and the RamAir cone ?

Looks good. I took a quick look at the Fatty thread but unfortunately all the images and links are gone - I guess it's 10 years old so maybe they've been pulled down since.

Thanks so much for everything here... really appreciate it.

Not quite the topic you might expect. I'm considering replacing the stock induction system on my 182 with something like a Ktec setup. This isn't to get more power or driveability but to give me a little more space on that side of the engine as I'm fed up of faffing around with all the loose...
