You have the sleeve from the hub come out with the track rod end.
The ones supplied are correct.
Remove sleeve from old track rod end and fit back into hub.
Job done.

ah what an idiot i dont know how i did that haha ive chucked it out penmouth: any ideas where i can get another insert from

Comes as a complete hub assembly over £200 from Renault.
b**ch to change most of the time as the pinch bolt that holds the lower joint in is usually siezed.
