Clio 182 rear stub axles

[iLott]

Just wondering are the stub axle assemblys all the same on the mk2 range? I know that not all will have abs sensors but apart from them are they all identical?

Regards

No the actual stub axle has different thicknesses depending on the model, I had the same issue when I needed a new one

b****cks! Going to the scrap hard tomorrow and what's the chances I'm going to find a sport there :/

Even the various sport's are different mate! The 172 cup one's I have are about 8mm thinner than the 182 ones

So what size are my clio 182 stub axles then mate? Do you know?

Sorry mate i'm not too sure but I will try and dig out my old stub and measure it!

RS1 all 172 models
RS2 all 182 models

Just measured it for you mate and its 18mm thick on each side. Thats only done with a ruler as I didn't have my vernier callipers to hand but should be accurate enough! The photo above shows the difference in thickness between the two! Hope that helps

Okay thanks dude, so the stub axle pictured above, im guessing they come away from the hub part? Because it doesn't look like it on my hub, but that might be because its so rusty

Yeah they do but sometimes need a press to get them out!

Sorry for brining up an old post but is it just the holes on the mounting plate that differ in size? and are normal 172 versions different to the cup version?

just found out a bit about this. the cup has a thicker base plate. where you look at the axle, you can see the plate where the 4 holes are is about 8mm thicker on the cup - I'm not sure if its interchangeable.

they are expensive from renault (isn't everything?) so i tried renspares. Josh had them in stock and they were about 36pounds from memory

Might as well keep this zombie thread going.

Just got hold of a replacement stub axle for my 182. Went for the thin based option (RenParts were happy to supply based on what I told them) as I'm on standard suspension. Have I made an @rse of this? Can't tell if it's thin on 172, fat on 182 or thin on standard, fat on Cup

Can someone confirm if I have made a @rse of the situation?

For the 182 you need the fatter ones, as said above.

Thanks for confirming. Just had another look at the one I've just received and it was bent to fook anyway! Might bite the bullet and get a new one this time
