Does this part stop the creaking though? If not what does it do? The creak is doing my nut in!!!

YES! washers stop the creaking, but this part now means you dont need to fit the washers

Sweet!! Once you've trailed one and given it the thumbs up I will get some :)
 
Re: FINALLY - Top mount moddified part from Renault!

i dont have any problems but i did have an advisory for top mounts 2 MOTs ago, last MOT didnt advise so guess it was a fussy garage, my top mounts look fine to me but im interested to see what the new ones look like.

What's different Fred? Need new bearings for mine, so depending on how this goes I may as well do the lot

Re: FINALLY - Top mount moddified part from Renault!

the spacer and little nut are replaced by a new 1 piece part,

i think it maybe due to Nissan now moving in (renalt part numbers as we know them are slowly migrating into Nissan numbers)

is that the spacer that sits within the large rubber bush / topmount that sits under the turret? was going to be ordering new bearings shortly

Fingers crossed this works as hopefully it would sort the noise my car makes, so fooking annoying! :rasp:

Who what ho hum how?

Can someone give me a rundown of what the issue is and how these new parts fix it? I have got a creaking on full lock on the passenger side front, which sounds like it could be the creaking you lot say is fixed with this modded part? What is is and what does it do?

Come on Fred, we're dying of anticipation here. lol

Re: FINALLY - Top mount moddified part from Renault!

i had new front shocks and top mounts fitted a few months back and tom at west's renault supplied everything. the top mounts had different looking washer setup to the previous oem ones that were fitted, i believe these are the new design ones. the knocking has stopped, no creaking etc :)

Re: FINALLY - Top mount moddified part from Renault!

noticed a problem today, i'll update with pics etc later, it seems the top mounts are also moddified now too

I've had 2, and also know 3 people well who've had 1*2s, and none have done it.
