its only an anti roll bar bush, a few quid for the part mate just a bit of a b*****d to compress it bush to tighten the screw on

 

[Fred@BTM]

its the outer antiroll bar bushes, IIRC theyre about £10 each, but a complete "female genitals" to fit



you need a 3ft long crow bar to compress the ARB enough to get the bolt and nut on

Cheers guys - take it id be better going to a garage to get it done then Fred and should i do both sides at the same time - the others ok

Will i only be able to get these from reno ? Part number would be good too!!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah its a standard part, same on every 1998 onwards clio AFAIK



ask for the outer Anti roll bar bushes for clio mk1 172 (do both)



take it to a local garage, no more than 1 hour labour (you could do it in 30min, if you know your arse from your elbow)

Cheers Fred, im willing to give it a go (tight scotsman like getting my hands dirty and saving money) would it be best to use a jack or similar to raise the ARB into position ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

youll struggle, its very very hard to do without the car being 5ft in the air, you need to compress the ARB whilst tightening the nuts ie NOT EASY

it took me + a mate "hanging" off a 3ft lever bar to compress the ARB enough so that my mechanic could tighten them up

Ok Fred i get the point have to clear the mothballs from my wallet

Thanks Fred you are a
