182cup & 172 racecar
If it's been corner weighted correctly, then it will not be the same height both sides.

Definitive answer to 172 vs. 172 Cup /182 castor difference?
- Thread starter andy_casey

Can you explain? Sorry for my stupidity lol.
Often when you corner weight a car you need to set the height slightly different on one corner relative to another to get the distribution of weight correct.
Obviously first you should always move weight instead, but as a final resort, you have to do that sometimes.
Any of the following that show signs of wear or play:
Strut top mounts
Track rods
Track rod ends
Steering rack bushes
Dampers (cup ones are an upgrade)
Ah right I see. He did explain it to me in there but tbh I forgot half of what he said now lol.
Cheers mate thanks for the help just hope changing the parts resolves my issue at the same time

If it doesnt then the subframe or shell being bent are most likely I would say.
I really hope not lol and I very much doubt it as I haven't done anything from when it felt fine to like this.
Unless maybe a pot hole can cause it.
Nope nothing like this.
Originally I had the balljoint done and it felt shite so thought alignment must be out as it can be after changing worn parts so got the tracking done and still felt a bit funny but was liveable although I want to get it done now as I would rather it was perfect.

I'm trying to work out, how changing a ball joint could make it feel so different.
Got any pictures, as I find this very strange.

O/S ball joint area, take the wheel off, pic from front and underneath of ball joint area.
i'll put money on it that they've fitted one with 10mm holes and bolts so it's fitting on the piss

Bump, anyone know the answer to this?
No, ph1/2 172's and 182's share the same lower arms. It's just the 172 Cups that have their own variation of lower arm, which has more caster than the other Clios.
Lol that was my issue I asked for your opinion on in another thread, turned out I had 2 different wishbones on
Was good at turning left and I always got tyre sequel pretty early when pushing it round a right hand bend.
I was driving the car for over 6 months like it and was pretty used to it tbh.
Proper shocking mate.
Cant believe how few people actually knew about the different wishbone options before I started mentioning it on here, even well known breakers were sending out the wrong ones etc. Shows how little public domain info there is on these cars in the UK

Haha yeah I doubt I was the first and I'm sure I wont be the last to have the wrong wishbone fitted.
I must have wasted £300 just trying to get local garages set the alignment and diagnose it. 5 mins with Dan at 519 under it and he could already see what the problem was.

It's the 182 Cup pack suspension that I want to know about though... i.e. are my current arms the same as the 172 Cup ones or not.

I read that thread when searching on this last night! Madness!
It also proves that Renault are wrong when they say there is only one pair of part numbers for all cars.
All the 182's are the same as the Ph1/2 172's, apart from the 172 cup. Like I said, all the Clios have the same lower arms other than the 172 Cup.

Thanks Nick. Now to see if Renault can find the part numbers on the system.
If you need a Cup reg number use RE52 CHG, my old one. Got me my Cup wishbones.
LOL, chocolate teapots!!! there's nothing wrong with the parts system, I ordered some off it for Adams car
Discounted 1*2 parts
funny enough dan renault have updated the look up dailogys like they do every mounth and have pissed around with the part numbers im trying to sort this out!!!
Discounted 1*2 parts
