i had this problem, but only one of mine came off. renault quoted me something stupid like £60 for it. i had a mate of mine who works for skoda sort it for me along with a few other things, but as far as i know u'll only need a new bolt put in mate.

in the mean time, try avoiding full lock and speedbumps lol

Its probably the anti roll bar links that bolt to the lower suspension arm. A lot of Clios had a problem where the bolts were too week and break. Renault and motor factors sell a new kit compromising of nut, bolt and rubber washer if fitted. I maybe able to get part number. Is the end of the bar loose from the suspension arm (wishbone) on both sides??

lol both anti roll bars are completely disconected from were there ment to be bolted on, all thats left is abit of corroded rubber.

Im pretty sure i just need two new bolts with rubber
Cant i get them from halfords

You want two new antiroll bar droplinks, renault or a factors they're a specific part. The old ones can be a pig to get out too as the bolt will be well stuck to the rubber.

 

[davebem]

As above, it depends where they have broken to how hard it is to get them off. Best get it done as basically the roll bar is not serving its purpose of preventing the car from rolling!! Handling will also be effected.

 

[Mark One]

you need new droplinks. Get it done.

I've had this, part was something like £6 or so, needed to take a hack saw to the old one to get it off properly, new one I compressed into place with a G-clamp and a bit of help from gravity.
