Why do you want shorter shocks? The springs set the ride height.

Hi James. Can you pm me a price? In what way are they strengthened? How old are the poly bushes?

Ah right . Are they an even bigger pain in the are to get out than the OEM rubber dogbone parts? Those buggers took plenty of sweat to get out Yeh its road only, can't ever see me going on a track with it to be fair.

Hi guys. I've got some pretty bad torque steer. Car tracks perfectly straight off power and on motorways but as soon as I accelerate it wants to pull right. I'm guessing worn wishbone bushes are the culprit. Would I be better off polybushing the wishbones on it now and buying a new ball...

PMS aircon delete. Just a thought, I'm considering doing it as my aux belt is due and I don't use the aircon anyway

Knackered dogbone causing the manifold to hit subframe? I had this when i changed my clutch so I loosened off all the mounts and gave the engine a bit of a shake to centralise it all then nipped back up and the knock was gone.

The nwp one is crap. Get genuine

I didn't even know they existed until I changed my clutch lol. Try Renault parts direct

Yep I used them to correct the rear camber and toe on the rear of mine due to a bent stub or rear beam. Half an hour job and the shims are stackable so you can change camber and toe. Great service from PMS over the phone while we're on the subject!

Im not expert on cambelts on these but you need 150 Quid's worth of timing tools as its not as simple as sticking a drill bit in the holes like on other types of engine. If you don't have the tools then consider a specialist as labour will be about as much as the tools required..

Well I'd take it off first to investigate, rotate the joint and see it feels duff. No point changing it without knowing for sure that's the cause

Driveshafts are cheap as chips for these. I forget the company but I read on here of a company making some good ones for about 40 quid.

CV joint could be buggered. Or possibly the wheel bearing. Take the shaft out and investigate. Not too difficult but you will need to drain the gearbox oil

What car is it? I always thought pretty much all 182s and cup 172s had the rs lower inlets. If you don't have them then gains may be a bit more noticable

Ktec do them for about 180 quid. For the 1 or 2 bhp you will gain I would have thought that money could be better spent elsewhere

my old 182 got the light once a week or so until i mapped it with rs tuner and then i never saw the light again.

I'm not expert but I'm sure a good wheel refurb company will have come across plastic centre caps before and have a way of making them match the wheels they have just coated. Best off asking the company who are doing it for you Mine weren't powder coated but looked as good as new after the refurb

When I got my 182 wheels refrbed they also did the centre caps for me.

Yeo. My guess would be one of the 2 bolts holding the dogbone Mount on. Under the car you will see a dogbone sort of thing which twists in the middle. 1 bolt should be aiming straight up and at the other end its held on with a long bolt and a nut

I'd start with diagnostics to point you in the right direction.

I know its a pikey method but I actually found routing the belt easier using a jubilee clip on tensioner so I could use both hands to sort the belt out

Honestly swap the tyres front to rear before you start worrying anything is wrong. I was scratching my head for weeks trying to work it out and I couldn't believe it was an odd ttrw causing it. Also get the tracking done on a hunter system with a printout, fantastic bit of kit in the right...

Different tread tyres left and right front caused this headache on mine for ages..

All the engines are f4rs mate. What they are saying is regardless of what engine you have weather its from a 182 or a 172 the differences in the driveshafts comes from different suspension setups between the cup and regular.

I didn't notice any difference to be honest. It just sounds mental lol

Take the old ones off, go down to europarts and compare the different ones they have available for your reg

Not sure how much OE ones are but probably the best option for standard. I don't seem to have noticed any increased vibration from my blue powerflex though.

There's tonnes on eBay for about 15 quid but don't have the top pipe for the breather. You could get around this by using a breather filter on the end of the pipe, or find some sort of 90° takeoff to drill into the silicone and attach the hose. But yeah I agree 80 for the forge or samco is a...

Actually that's for the front, can't remember if back Is the same its a while since I had it off

No guide needed mate it's literally 2 bolts. 13mm for the bolt I believe and a 17mm spanner will be needed to hold the other bit from spinning.
