Another wishbone question. Yawn

[itsjamz]

Now either my renault dealer is useless or loads of you are wrong haha

they said that the cup and non cup 172 wishbones are identical. Also wests said the same

im really after an exact answer. I don't want to replace cup ones with no cup and loose out on the caster and may e have geo set up issues.

Anyone actually know the answer?

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Reading through loads of searched threads with no exact answer has hurt my head and eyes lol

cheers

Didn't someone just reply to your other thread with some pictures to prove they were different?

Buy some second hand ones, fit new powerflex bushes and a new balljoint - job done. Then you're sure you've got the right ones and all new & better parts

This.

Sorry, didn't see it and was so quick at the reply. Cheers adam

The pics show they are different clearly but how come I can't get a part number for the ones with more caster!?

 

[Korky]

They are different, cup have more castor, chip created a thread on it with proof.

Use the search tab.

 

[itsjamz]

I have read that thread, I use search function. Just haven't found what I'm looking for. Alot of yes and no answers. I'm aware they are different and is what I thought but a different part number for them can not be found

 

[Korky]

It was mentioned that Renault did away with one of the part numbers and that is why they only say there is one when they search the system.

 

[itsjamz]

So they done away with the better option lol

 

[itsjamz]

Seems there is abit of discussion in my post in west Renault about this. Any more input would be great

Some one did recently manage to find the correct part number and got new cup ones.

no, not at all, they've just listed a lot of vehicles wrong. It's really not hard, just order parts for a cup. This is all I do. I really don't understand the complication, if you don't know what you already have.......LOOK!!!

 

[itsjamz]

Okay thanks. Even though they list the part for all clios the correct ones will come.

Can't you check the part number off the wishobones on your car, then ask someone on here or local to you to check the part number on the Cup ones?

Then do a ring-around with both part numbers, or even a numberplate from a Cup & non-Cup Clio?
