bearing

D4f 720 Need a replacement guide or just this question answered. Do you just take the nut off the front and slide it off, or do I have to secure the bolt/ 'axle' that it spins on so it doesnt drop out of the bracket? Read the manual and to tension the belt you just loosen the nut on the...

Clutch fork is wobbling back and forth (towards and away from clutch)- no sideways movement in it (towards and away from rad/firewall) Pivot bearing or throw out? Causes vibration you can feel through floor and pedals at idle and to either side of 3k rpm. Worse when air con put on at idle...

So I did a cheap/stupid thing today Bought new brake drums & shoes for my mk2 and they are visibly smaller. Like don’t even need to open the box smaller. In my rush to buy them before they’re out of stock again, I bought the 180mm drums but I have the 203mm drums. I didn’t even take the wheel...

Hello all , I had my rear wheel bearing done roughly 2 months ago ( only the one side for money reasons) since then in the past week or two I've noticed a similar sound as if the bearings is going on the same side after having gone to Santa pod and back ( roughly 200 miles total). Is there any...

Hi! So i have a problem with my Twingo rs. There there seems to be a loose bearing sound whenever I go past 4000 revs then let off the accelerator or changing gears. It still shifts fine, no slipping clutch, no drop in rpm. Managed to find a video of someone who had the same issue but he...

Hi, I work as a CAD Engineer at a reverse engineering company Crosthwaite and Gardiner (as proof of competence, we've all seen some suspicious suspension components). I am looking to produce some cup racer style uniball holders, matching the original geometry of a 1*2 ball joint. This will...

Hi, I need to replace my front wheel bearing on my 172 cup, and a look on euro car parts is telling me there are two sizes (40ID 84OD or 37ID 72OD). K-tec has different categories for 182 Cups and everything else, but it doesn't say which is larger. Renault parts direct has different bearings...

The bit that fits inside the gearbox. Do I need to grease it? Or is it lubricated by the gearbox oil. 😊 Thanks

Hi guys - looking for a bit of advice with my newly purchased Clio 182. I bought it from a member on here and in the ad and during sale @matty1995 mentioned that there was the odd knock from one of the front dampers. I've been tinkering and had the car jacked up looking around and looking at...

I have a droning/humming type of noise when driving. It seems to get louder at 40-50mph, then quieter, then loud at 70+ again. When I turn left the noise disappears, but when I turn right it either gets slightly louder or stays present. I have been having a few issues with the gearbox lately...

This is the 3rd set of discs/bearings going on the p/s rear wheel. something has to be wrong with that side of the axle or wheel. Question - will tracking help diagnose whats causing bearings to go again and again on p/s rear wheel? And How much can I expect to pay to have it tracked?

A whirring noise has developed in the last few days. It comes from the p/s rear. Some research on here shows its most likely the bearings gone (So new discs and bearings going on) but before I book it in, is there any way of seeing if the spacers are still on or if they have been thrown with the...

So my steering wheel had movement up and down, turns out it the bearing as all the little ball bearings have fallen out. I've taken off the bracket that holds it to the frame and houses the ignition barrel. This also houses the bearing. Now I have a part on the steering column which could be...

Hi everyone, can anyone advice on where to get rear wheel bearings for a mk2 phase 1 sport 172. I replaced them two trackdays ago and now they are whining like a bugger again. Is there anywhere that do a stronger bearing? Also I'm after a stud kit for said vehicle as it keeps stripping wheel...

Hi, ive got a wheel bearing whine from the rear, don't know which drum yet but from the rear. I was looking and do new drums have the bearings in already? or is it a press job :) thanks

Hi, Bear with me, I don't have a clue about problems with cars, so please explain like I'm 5 :) My clutch is making a sort of creaking noise when its first used in the morning. It happens up until the biting point is reached in 1st, 2nd and 3rd (not sure if it happens in 4th, 5th or 6th as I...

I've got a whining noise coming from (I think) the front left on my 182. Has got quite loud over the last few weeks. ...seems louder under deceleration and maybe quieter when turning left....mostly all above say 50 mph. Done some searching and thinking maybe the wheel bearing. ..question is how...

Need to change the front wheel bearing. I can get hold of a new kit tomorrow and access to a press too, but will have to be tomorrow otherwise I will have to borrow mother's car for the week! What I am after what needs to be removed from the car so I can take it to my step dads work to use the...

Hi, I'm looking to book the Ph1 in for a new box as the diff bearings went in mine. The garage I have asked for a quote with mentioned a different gearbox with bigger stronger diff bearings. Anyone know what he's talking about? Were the later boxes updated? I'm curious. If you do...

Im after a front wheel bearing for a 172 cup. Euro car parts want £55+vat! Renault parts direct want £45 inc vat. I think this is a bit on the pricey side tbh. Has anyone found a cheaper place?

Hi i have a All 172 cup ph2 2002. I had a slight curb knock recently which incurred a front offside puncture, I had 2 new front Tyres fitted and the offside front has gone below legal within weeks, 1mm 1.6mm 2mm in the treads. The Near side is still reading at 5mm 5mm 5mm. I have been reading...

Hello. New here,couldn't find part number of the rod bearing. Is it called big end,main bearing ? Thanks mates. Have a great weekend.

Recently fitted 2 new disks/bearings to my 172, after doing one trackday in November the car was parked up until the m.o.t was due today. I have been told by the garage that one of the wheel bearings has been ruined after only around 150miles. I have since found on the forum that there is to be...

Hi Can anyone point me in the right direction on getting a new bearing I'm in need of a 182 cup front wheel bearing ?? 84 mm I believe ????????????? Thanks

My 1.2 has developed a ticking coming from the rear of the car that increases with the speed of the car. The drum brakes have just had a service, I have 20mm h&r spacers fitted and there's nothing visible that's out of place. This makes me think it's the bearing. Anyone got advice before I...

as title I've removed the top mounts from the car today and the bearings are seized quite solid they were only fitted late 2012 £25 each for new bearings should I have to pay £50 every 2years to keep these good? Or have I been unlucky

Can anyone point me in the right direction for rear wheel bearings for a 182? Not sure if non cup and cup differ. Ta.

I'm going to have to get my clutch changed due to the sticking clutch release bearing, is it worth doing anything else whilst the sub frames lowered? Gearbox mounts?

Hi all, I have recently developed a problem with my Clio 3 1.4 16v Petrol. The car has started making a 'whining' noise when I rev it a little on a cold morning and move off in gear. The car will Rev soundly in neutral but as soon as the clutch is pressed in the noise appears. I don't...
