Clio 172 ball joint.

Hi,
I need to replace the ball joints on my 172, thinking to order lemforder from euro car parts, they have 2 size, 10mm and 12mm holes, how can i check which one i need?

Another question about the end toe rod, if i want to replace them, should i replace the link bar too?

12mm.

No need to replace the tie rod if there's no play in it. Get your tracking done once the track rod end has been replaced though and put copper slip on the thread to prevent seizing in the future.

Thanks mate, will order the 12mm, so the 10mm is for the nonsport clio?
The tie rod dosent have play, just thinking to refresh the suspension, bushes and so...
How are the power flex? Violet ones.
Or lemforder will be ok too?
