Front shocks Renault Clio 2005

[Pipewrench]

Hi. The other day my front right shock collapsed. So I need to change the entire strut and the strut bearing. Im only keeping the spring.

The problem is I cant figure out if there are different shocks and strut bearings. My car is a 2005 Renault Clio 1.2 16 V. It is lowered from factory with the sports chassie. The spring is marked red and green. In the parts catalouges no shocks or bearings are marked as sport chassis. How ever a few is marked as standard chassis. So are the shock strut and bearing different if its a standard or sports chassi?

It will be a standard shocker that's required for your car, nothing special. Will be cheap enough genuine from Renault.

Fitted these last year to my 2001 1.2L 16v. Easiest way to tell (I think) is the bolt spacing to the knuckle.
