[Paddy_g46]

[Doyle]

P.S.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Renault, iirc its only a few quid as you get the bushes aswell

 

[Doyle]

whats the right name for it then?

 

[lemonnobby]

anti roll bar link bushs if they ask where are there on there lower wishbones to connect the 2 together.

 

[Cup ov Ste 53]

You want the front anti roll bar ,end bush and clamp. And a M8 ny-loc (nut) and bolt, to clamp it back together.

 

[Doyle]

[Paddy_g46]

[theduck]

anytime mate.

 

[lemonnobby]

on certain full lock/cambers it can wear the wheel away.

 

[Djw John]

It wont make any sort of droning noise Paul, that'll be a bearing

 

[Paddy_g46]

yeh mine is makign a dronign noise at the moment aswell and i just came homw frm a long drive and sometimes the car pulls 2 1 side which i am guessing wud also be symptoms of a bearing?

 

[Doyle]

it isnt the bearing ive checked both side for that. im pretty sure of it.

ill run by coatbridge renault dealer and grab the bolt n bits tomorrow after work, fit it and if the noise is still there ill get me mechanic to check the bearings.

[Paddy_g46]

can u describe ur droanign noise 2 me please and when you get it and when you dont, cheers,

 

[Doyle]

can u describe ur droanign noise 2 me please and when you get it and when you dont, cheers,

i get it constantly and more when i turn left it disappears when i turn right.

i think this is due to the bar vibrating off the subframe and its within milimeters when turned left and its a fair bit away from the subframe when turned right.

but ill replace the anti roll bar bushes today after work and if the noise is still there then it'll be the bearings on the drivers side.

i check the beqaring on the passenger side and it's fine.

fiver on a bearing

 

[theduck]

my fiver wopuld go on a bearing caused by the allignment being way out due to the anti roll bar link and bushes being missing

 

[Doyle]

cant be arsed getting the bearing fixed....AGAIN!

i hope its not

 

[theduck]

check your bearing when you change the the link, just turn the wheel slowly it should move smoothly, any non-smooth movement or grating sound and its your bearing. Also check for uneven tyre wear, because as I said your allignment will be out, also as your lowered 60mm, you might find that with the allignment out you may have been getting rubbin on the arch liner, tho not sure on that last point.

 

[Doyle]

my wheels cant be aligned cos the lazer alignment equipment cant get on the wheel becos its so low. so it hasnt been aligned for ages!

fiver on a bearing

Ditto, what he is describing is exactly what I had on my car.. was the bearings that were on the way out.

 

[Doyle]

and noise is reduced but i got a mate of mine to check the car and its the REAR PASSENGER SIDE wheel bearing!!! :O

i mean FFS!

 

[Djw John]
