mine made 171.4 at the surrey rolling road day.. car fully warmed up (went for a rather long drive to get some food, then back and on the rollers) .. but my graph only went up to 6.800RPM!? and said it had nothing else to give.. my car is a 182 running cat 428's, matched inlets, panel filter/std...
yeh they are.. you will need to get under the car and find out what steering rack you have.. if your lucky you should still have a sticker on it stating what the type is. either SMI or TRW .. from this they will order you the correct joints.
weird that both have gone at the same time... if it was just one I would have said its most likely to be the ballast pack.. they cost something like £170 from Renault... or you might be very unlucky and both have gone.
no problems at all.
I had the car up on jacks and had a look at doing it myself but looks to be a nightmare and I just cant be bothered to spend the time doing it.
have you the link to the rod's on Ebay at all? Pm me if you wish
that's what mates are for,saving money! lol
Adz172 - if the new ball joints and track rod ends don't solve the problem. it will be the inner rods as they are know to wear, they cost a bomb and I hear they are a pain in the backside to replace.
as for the Renault 'expert' most likely trying to get as much £££ out of you.
dubdub - there...
having the same issues on my 182, done ball joints and tie rod ends.. all shocks checked, tracking and camber done. Think I have found the problem to be the left inner track rod.. as seems to have a little play in it and under acceleration now pulls to the left. will be getting them changed over...
sorry if a re-post
