Front wheel sensor

[04-182]

Probably a daft question but is there supposed to be a sensor on both front wheels struts. Also, for the front shock. If cup shocks are is the 60mm bolt centre to centre?$

No fault light on the dash

Thanks.

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah, abs sensors are meant to be on both sides.

Thanks. This cars starting to make my head hurt. another thing i need to sort out.

Theres a lot of thread showing on that drive shaft! Has your car been parked up for quite some time?

looks like it. need to take the wheel off again and have a close look. def no wires hanging and no fault light on the dash. can they be mapped out?

Hi, yeah. The guy i got it off had it MOT'd Jan this year at 117.8k. Previous MOT was Dec 16 at 113.8k. so 4k in just over 3 years. All the tyres on it are cracked, old, no tread so def swapped them for a different set for its MOT.

On the thread do you mean on the track rod?

No on the stub of the drive shaft

ah ok. i'll be totally honest if you've not guessed already. I don't know a lot about cars. the front end spacing does seem quite narrow and i think it has camber adjusting bolts in the top hole of the strut. its sitting pretty low. I've got a full set of eibach 30mm springs.

What made you ask if its been sat for a while?

 

[04-182]

should have said. eibach springs to go on. the red ones are coming off.

 

[DomP182]

Looks pretty corroded , most of it you'll probably be replacing like discs, shocks and springs I'd imagine

yeah thats the plan which is gonna be learning curve for me. @midge is helping me out with the ABS sensor and some other bits. Going to replace the springs (got eibachs), shocks, top mounts, discs, pads then get it to a garage to check tracking and alignments etc. May out spacers on the fronts (just took some off the back).

for brakes do you recommend OEM or Brembo or another. rear discs i'll go oem.

Brembo fronts do the job and are significantly better value for money than the OEM branded ones. However the rear Renault OEM discs have the abs ring attached which makes them simpler and more cost effective to fit. Thats the most popular set we sell.

We also can help with all the parts you need suspension wise. We also have a reward point scheme which saves our regular customers a good chunk of cash overall.

just compared the one in picture to the others on the side. is it too much thread or wrong nut? and does it matter?

 

[DomP182]

That's why, they normally have a nut like the one in the lower photo
