New PS3s fitted today, vast improvement on the almost dead Michelins that was on the car.
The guy i got the car from said they had between 3-4mm tread all round. Well yes they did until you look at the very inners. All bold so scrap.
Been chasing a knock since car has been aligned. Both sides, other rough surfaces.
Been pissing me off as everything is new and i double checked everything has been torqued up correctly.
Drove over a dropped curb today and it made a horrible noise that you would get with a worn balljoint.
It then occurred to me that i used the supplied Meyle bolt for the ball joints. I bet there isn’t sufficient shoulder length and the ball joint is resting on the thread instead of the shoulder therefore not 100% secure.
c**t, so I've ordered Lemforder ball joints to replace the Meyle as they were on offer so like for like. I’ll get a refund for the Meyles through Ebay so hopefully problem solved. I kept the original pinch bolts so i’ll compare the shoulder length once removed.
99% certain this is the issue. f**k you Renault for discontinuing cup wishbones.
Good start, fucked engine mount and now issue with ball joints. Could be worse.
