Looking for aSwivel arm ball joint.

[chris74]

Evening guys. As the the title states I'm looking for a swivel arm offside front lower ball joint for my 2007 Clio 197 sport.

I got the ball joint from Sutton's but my mechanic said its to small. I need a 20mm ball joint not 18mm what I had from Sutton's.

I've searched the net and all the ones I'm finding are 18mm.

Can anyone help as I'm pulling my hair out now trying to find that part.

Also my mechanic had my car for half hour before dropping it back to me then saying the part is to small. How would he know if the ball joint was to small when he didn't open the packaging the joint was in lol.
Cheers
Chris.

Polish seller on eBay has them.

Or Mark Black


Also sounds like "your mechanic" doesn't have a clue, Take it to a proper RS specialist.

Any links mate? I've come across loads on eBay but as I said they are 18mm and apparently I need a 20mm ball joint.

I don't have time to take it anywhere tbh as I work 7 days a week in car sales so I use the garage who does repairs on all our stock.

Here you go, Took me 1 minute to search for it, Also have the upper if you need.

I have just got 4 off him for my Megane, Dunno about the Clio ones but the Megane ones he sells are the N4 Megane solid items so should last a lot longer.

Cheers mate I've seen all them. I'm just going by what my mechanic said. I need a 20mm

Take it elsewhere to a place that actually knows what they are doing.

 

[chris74]

Advice taken so you sayin the ball joint I have 18mm will fit my 197 ?

 

[-Jamie-]

I don't know, What did you actually buy and where from?

If your doing one side, You may as well do they other as well tbh.

 

[chris74]

Offside front Lower ball joint was the part I ordered. Guy still rekons it's the wrong part as its to small.

 

[chris74]

That is not for a 197.
