Fella just said "It's just had new original springs and shocks fitted." bud..... I guess if you are saying to check the fitment etc thats a fair point. All genuine stuff bud? J

Could be a few things i guess......i wonder could rear bearings be a factor here. There are big ass bushing in the rear arms too, might want to get those checked as well bud J

oh my god.... Right.....the saga continues. So, Renault UK agreed to replace the shocks but they did not admit there was a problem with them. The value just didn't warrant investigation apparently. Happy with that though. So, tonight.....I started in to fit them. Cautiously however, i decided...

A diesel tuning box that plugs into the Diesel ECU and intercepts signals from there (with no doubt MORE than 2 wires) is a VERY different kettle of fish to this. This......is horse s**t A diesel tuning box, very different. Most certainly not the best way to tune a diesel mind you, but it...

hey bud. I just fitted mine 2 nights ago. wanker of a job but I'm sure you know that. on mine, the only part of the rack that needed a hole was at the steering box bush mount however, both bushes I got had holes. J

Is this..... REAL? No. Do not buy that. Not at all. Ever.

Fred.......would you advise against using the KYB donuts? I have measured them and seriously see no difference but I can appreciate that would change under load J

So...................ITS NOT JUST ME? :D J

Shocks are sent back to Renault for inspection now....not sure what will come of that. Renault workshop inspected the work that I did and are happy with it and quite bemused as to why the shocks could do that. Only thoughts they had might be damaged top cups......but as i said, both of them? And...

Are there any dealers who would be willing to check some brand new ph2 172 shocks for me to see if they make this noise? I would be very grateful............i'd send an e-hug ;) J

Haven't bud but its a fair point...... The dealership i am dealing with are notorious for being.......umm.....unpleasant A

Right......so on the KTEC page.....i can see what everyone was talking about with regards to the green vs blue/yellow stickers. So the green are non cup and blue/yellow are cup. In their image of the shocks, you can just see the catch holding the rod down on the cup shock (blue/yellow) on the...

yeah mate....they are

Ill check bud.......... J

Dont want to sound daft or anything, but you don't have to activate these or anything like that? Its crazy if both of them aren't right J

Both 4 month old shocks are the same and did it from the day they were bought...... Made me think duff batch or something? J

The first one i "squish" is from 2003, the second is from 2013 :/

Motherf........... Sorry bud A

Hey guys, can anyone confirm if this is alright? I know I asked before but i just need reassurance that this is fine, because it is loud.....i mean....."hear it in the car with the windows up and over engine noise" loud. I cant even make it sound as loud as it is when it is the car...

What basics don't i understand? I understand that -2 deg of camber isn't stock so I am trying to find out why. What other method would you suggest to achieve the same? Its not an ever changing problem either.....if you look at the readings of when the new shocks went on, you will see the...

eh? hold on..........all i want is factory spec......right? Factory spec isnt -2 degrees of camber is it? The only thing i changed was the shocks last night, yeah? And now the camber is back closer to spec and the car feels much nicer. What is the problem with that? FYI.....these shocks...

Ok......you are going to like this. Original.....and possibly quite sleepy shocks put back in. Top mounts assembled exactly the same order...... Camber down to LH:-0.76 RH:-0.90 as opposed to roughly -2.0 each side. Car still slightly skittish but in a different league. I have a rack bush on...

Right oh.......i replaced the old top mounts out of curiosity........ It feels.....umm......different. Time will tell tomorrow when the guys check it again. :/ J

Right.....looking at previous printout.....it suggests that the camber should be -0.80.....whereas this printout suggests -0.32? Either way......the first printout showed the camber bucked on one side (after the bump) possibly leaning to damaged bottom arm The second printout was after top...

Right....just back from a different tyre place. Popped it on the alignment and the guy immediately noted that the steering was ever so slightly out. He advised that if this was just a bottom arm swap and it put the car out of alignment, then it would very much suggest that the previous arm...

Could a pothole do the same? ANy checks on that or is it going to be to miniscule to see/measure? J

Fair point on the camber bud....i did raise it before but it wasn't really flagged. If you look at both of my charts....the pass. side camber is roughly a degree out from the driv. side. Note, the pass. side took the hit. Secondly....the first chart shows only the pass. side out.......the...

97 3/4" center to center That sound about right? More importantly.....the same J

Sorry bud.......that top image, that looks like the bolt going through the wishbone.....correct? J
