Font end steering/suspension refresh.

Front end steering/suspension refresh.

Hi everyone,

Over the winter months im looking to spruce up the bean a little bit. What I would like to do is a bit of a suspension and steering refresh but im not quite sure whats worth doing.

I was thinking about the following:

Powerflex wishbone bushes
Powerflex anti-roll bar bushes (already got dogbone)
balljoints
tracking @ CLCM

The track rod ends were done about 6 months ago as well as new driveshafts. Is there anything you guys would add/take off from that list? is it worth getting new track rods and inner track rod ends?

Cheers :)

Insted of going with Powerflex wishbone bushes, I would just get new cup wishbones they come with new ball joints. You wont need the powerflex unless you are going to track it a lot.
I would say to only replace worn or faulty items.

182 cup / cup packed
Wishbone(s)(Come with ball joints) - R8200257957 / R8200257956
182 cup / cup packed front shock(s) - 8200681109
182 cup / cup packed rear shock(s) - 8200681125

Front Anti Roll Bar Inner Bush 25mm - PFF60-202-25
 
Im about to do the same. New dampers (standard cup) springs (eibachs), ball joints, track rods ends, bushes and top mounts.

Who is Adam? He is local to me. I am after somewhere to buy some of the parts.
 
Thanks for the advice. I wont be getting new front and rear shocks as I intend to get some Spax coilovers.

I also plan on getting into track days in the new year as the Clio is now a second car. Thanks for giving me the dimensions of the bushes though. Much appreciated!
