Full Suspension Refresg

[Jimbob 2705]

Thinking of giving my FF 182 a full suspension refresh, and this is what I plan to change :

1) Front Shocks (Cup)
2) Rear Shocks (Cup)
3) Top Mounts
4) Lower Arms (Wishbones)
5) Inner Track/Tie Rod
6) Track/Tie Rod End
7) Steering Rack Bushes

Is there anything else I should look at changing? Currently got Cooksport Springs which have done around 10k miles, so they'll be staying on.

Also, reference the Inner Track Rod and Track Rod End ;

OEM Renault's are hideous at £80 a pair for either Inners or End
Whereas I could get Lemforder Inner Track Rods for £45, and Track Rod Ends for £40!

I did search on hear and all that I could find was that the Lemforder Inner Track Rods don't fit a cup packed 182, although I couldn't find an answer why?

Be interested to hear opinions on Renault Vs. Lemforder for those parts, as they are virtually half the price!

Many Thanks,

James

Inner & outer ARB bushes.

Ball joints?

 

[leedsboy]

ARB bushes as well possibly?

With regards to tie rods and ends, I've just changed mine last month. I've got Lemforder ends but had a right ball ache getting the right tie rods. Check this thread out that I made http://www.cliosport.net/threads/inner-tie-rods-confusion.795056/. This was for a non cup though.

Ball joints?

They come fitted with new wishbones

Perfect, thank you all! ARB bushes added to that list

I'll check that thread out now @leeds2592, thanks for the link

If I have to spend the extra and go OEM Renault I will, just if I can save a bit it would be great

Majority of parts are all ordered besides Inner Tie Rods and Track Rod Ends

Fairly sure I'll be going for Lemforder Ends as they're under half the price!

Just unsure on the Inner Tie Rods, and what will fit a Cup Suspension'd 182?

if you haven't sorted this yet you need FTR5277 you can get them from GSF car parts.
