Front Crossmember

[Daverb]

Does anyone know if the front crossmember which the engine attaches to should sit slightly squint - or should it be straight?

Looking at my car the bar seems to sit slighty further forward at the gearbox side than the engine side?

It this right?

its hard to determin what you mean, have you got any pics? if there is any paint flaked off, kinks then its bent.

The bar itself isnt bent and where it bolts on each side looks fine too.

Basically if you open your bonnet, look straight down between the radiator and the engine. You'll see a bar which runs from one side of the car to the other at the very bottom. The engine has a mount attached to this bar.

Just need to know if this sits straight - in line with the engine and the radiator etc... Or slightly squint.

Anyone, please??

what model of clio is it?

Its a Clio 182.

Might be the same with the 172? Sure some nice person could pop out to their car and lift the bonnet for a peek.
