What is the difference in track width both front and rear between the various 172/182's?
Odd that i was running 1 x 172 Ph1 wishbone and 1 x 172 Cup wishbone, which were the exact same dimensions when I measured them before fitting then? Just the castor/balljoint hole location was different... Ive since changed to two Ph2 wishbones due to fitting polybushes etc.
Also a 172 Ph2 Cup O/S driveshaft that I got from Specialist Breakers, which was the exact same length as a knackered Ph1 O/S shaft that I had, just a slightly different shape. Currently using the Ph2 Cup Shaft on my car with a N/S Ph1 shaft, no problems with it yet...
They may well have different part numbers etc, but the renault system don't show lengths/dimensions/specs. Ive got quite some collection of Ph2, Cup and Ph1 parts here and they dont look/measure any different dimensions wise......cant have been sold the stuff wrongly either as I removed most of the parts from the cars myself, lol.
This is going to get very messy,
Wish I knew,then I could sort it,pulls to the left under load..
What do you think is causing it to jump ? The shafts running out of extendable length when it hunkers down ?
they're all specific, trust me!
Whatever happened to Edde, he knew all this sort of (boring) stuff. I too thought it was mainly about the wheel offset differences :S. When I fitted 172 Cup shocks to my Ph1 172 the wheel alignment was out by miles (cue the American car wheel noise at traffic islands) I then got the impression that RS parts were not always interchangable. I think the Cups have their own driveshafts, the 172 Cup has stronger front hubs - different to non-Cup versions.

Does anyone know if the wishbones have the part numbers stamped into them? I bloody hope they do, i need to order some new ones for my cup racer and have no idea weather its uses PH 1 or PH 2 wishbones. Uses a modified PH1 subframe i know that, this is going to cause i headache i can just feel it FFS. lol
