172 lower suspension arms

[mcr paul]

Can anyone confirm if the ph1 & ph2 172's use the same lower suspension arm ?

Yep, Cups and the 182's use different ones (longer)

Edit - phase 2 are slightly different stronger supposidly etc but there just the same fit etc.

There all the same, cups etc the track increase comes from the hub and wheel offset on a cup.

Have a check on this part numbers I've been having fiddle with they exist in the system. But its not a Uk parts in stock here. I'm guessing its eather the CUp part of the homogololised race car part which gives wider track but without needing to use different offset wheels.

Really its a bit of a grey area, my man at renault says they are the same, ive measured them and they are all the same lenth even standard clios.
on the sports the drive shafts are slightly longer and the hub carriers protude more (about 3mil each side) than the standard clio.
the cup has +7mil offset wheels
