Hole Spacing *Pics*

[Willy]

Heya

So I'm hoping to get some new springs and shocks fitted in the near future. Found the ones I want but they require 58mm hole spacing. I'm terrible with cars, but very eager to learn. So off I went outside with my tape measure and lack of knowledge. Here is a picture of my findings;

Looks about 48mm if moved up slightly. I know its not 100% accurate but that seems pretty short. am i measuring the right thing? I measured from the end of the bolt to the other end and got about 54mm, and if i measure the nut to nut id get about 58mm. not confident enough to take my wheel off and start undoing things, should i ask a friend or garage to give me a 100% measurement? opinions please

many thanks

I think this is where you measure from??
Does everyone agree this looks like 54mm btw?
(mk2 ph3 clio campus)

Should be either 54 or 58mm, looks like the former.

 

[aucky]

just been lookin at suspension kits, apparently some come in 52mm, looks more like that tbh?

Is it the 1.2 8v campus, if so it will prob deffo be 52mm

 

[Beef-Mc]

52mm for the early Mk2 ph2 then 58mm for the rest.

Looks like renault have gone back to 52mm for the 8v's.

My brothers 1.2 8v authentique has 52mm spacing, looking at that pic id say its dead on 52.

Was going to say 54mm is for the 172 and non cupped 182.
