Clio 182 Cup
Hi I have a clio 182 cup and one of the inner tie rods has some play in it when I give it a pull. When I grab the tyre at 3 and 9 o'clock positions and give it a wobble I can feel there is some play on that wheel too.
I notice at motorway speeds that you need to correct the steering slightly on long bends (similar to correcting for a cross wind on a motorway at speed) and it is a bit unnerving. There is also a knock from the front wheel at slow speed over rough surfaces and when cold on full lock at very slow speed (eg when doing a 3 point turn) there's a clicking sound.
I assume (or hope!) these are caused by one problem (ie the track rods) but not sure, maybe there's more than one problem so any advice is appreciated before I buy parts.
I understand that the outer tie rods are the same for all 182s (can someone please confirm?) but for the cup model the inner tie rods are longer.
I can see on micks garage these parts when I use my number plate to identify parts..

There are a few manufacturers there and lengths seem to vary, does anyone know what to order/whether to avoid the cheapest ones or are any of them OK? Thanks.
