^This^ But who cares on a road car at least you can be cool in the summer.

Definitely make sure you don't over torque them as I did that on mine and they only lasted 15k!

Does the rack have flats on to grip whilst loosening the rod?

I'm not on about the track rod ends or the locking nut for the ends if there is any confusion. I have got to replace the actual rods as the inner ball joints are worn. Supposedly there is a washer that goes between the ball joint thread and the rack? Also are the flats on the rack to grip...

Yeah perfect service as usual mate :cool: yeah is says in my haynes manual that that is a locking washer between the tie rod and rack that needs to be replaced?? Maybe its different as I think other clio's have electric rack's?

Am changing my track rods this weekend and have just read about a locking washer that goes between the rod and the rack. How important is it that these are replaced?

I think this needs to be added in the guides section. Or is it already and i'm going blind?

Its there to protect the fuel rail in a crash

anyone?

Are the inner bushes Renault only?

Yeah it does i'm just wondering: a) how tight its going to be b) whats the best tool to get in there! The gaitor will be removed very carefully for reuse!!

Any tips for removing the track rod from the rack?

You can get them on an exchange basis from eurocarparts or GSF

You can strengthen the centre exhaust mount by wrapping it with cable ties

Sky were a great bunch to deal with, there original quote was not cheaper than my renewal but the excess was half the price. When they asked me my renewal price they went away and comeback with an other price that was lower and still with the low excess.

It not the track rod end i'm worried about its the end that connects to the rack!

Need to remove my track rods this weekend whilst the rack is on the car. Are there any good tools for the job? Also doing the lower ball joint so what tool do I need for that? Cheers

Just phone them.

Having seen a dephaser pulley in pieces I cant see how it would fail and as far as i'm aware none ever have. I drove mine for about 6k but it didn't sound as bad as yours. I would think it would be ok, just drive it sensibly however i'm sure some will disagree.

Would be useful to know

They were a good insurer but there modified car excess is too high IMO

The adjuster may have popped out of the light

My car was struggling to start, idling high etc and I replaced the coolant sensor and now its fine.

Its a big risk to drive it. If it fails and the belt comes off then theres 99% chance you will be saying bye bye to your engine

That is definitely the dephaser pulley. Will need a new cambelt as well.

No its the inner joint so will be the actual rod that needs replacing

please??!!

definately worrying seeing as allot of members are on well over 100k on the orginal clutch

your better off buying a second hand linkage as it will probably never come off.

are they not just a different colour.....
