RenaultClio2Steeringrackandrearshockuppermount.124555.jpg

We have two new additions this week for the hugely popular Clio II.
As a performance, trackday and motorsport car the Clio is almost unbeatable. However with the hard use this car almost deserves comes the inevitable wear and tear.
Two problems have been brought to our attention that we have now solved.
The rear shock absorber top mounts have a nasty habit of failing causing knocking and allowing uncontrolled movement of the rear dampers. The PFR60-311 is a straightforward replacement to solve this. These are available in the Road and Black Series materials.
Front handling is now suffering with failures of the steering rack mounting bushes causing associated handling issues as well as steering knock. We have developed replacement mountings, PFF60-331, for the most common rack fitment which is made by SMI. This part has been made in the harder Black Series material as standard.

Not content with revolutionising the automotive world, Tesla CEO and PayPal founder, Elon Musk is going to space.
In fact his space exploration company is older than Tesla
Watch this amazing test of a rocket launch. Wait for the end, because the launch isn't the clever bit.

They are the black series bushes.
 
How does the rear shock absorber bush go ?

Where are these located and how do you change them ?

Do you get two rack bushes for £24 or like genuine items you have to buy two separately?

goes as MWright said above.

To change just remove the top damper nut and jack the car up until the damper comes through the bottom of the body, change the under side bush it just slides on the same way the standard one is removed, and then lower the car and fit the top bush again the same way the old one is removed just slides on.

New dampers from Renault come with new bushes so if you have had recent dampers they will have already been changed, not sure how much these are uprated or just an alternitave to going to Renault to replace a worn part
 
Will there be an increase in road noise and vibrations with the poweflex steering mounts?

Just that I want to replace mine and for the price the powerflex ones seem better but I dont want an increase in road noise etc so would just go OEM if that was the case

Get the feeling nobody will really know until a few people have fitted them
 
what's the advantage of the rear shock ones?
is there a problem with the shocks moving around?

I once turned the bolts too tight on standard rear ones en the NVH was terrible, what did the cupracers use?
 
It would be interesting to hear feedback from fitment of the steering rack bushes, both purple and black series.
 
I've ordered rack bushes a week ago from Kam racing, still haven't received my email saying they have been sent so I assume they haven't got stock of any yet.
 
Has anyone tried out the black series power flex rear shock upper mounts?

I'm getting an ARB fitted soon and just want the rear end to be completed.

Just fitted a set of these last weekend, can't say there's a massive change at the moment, will probably not notice until I get out on track. All I would say is that it feels like I've adjusted the rear shocks to a slightly harder setting ( although I havent ), and there is absolutely no extra vibration coming from the back end ( this is something I was a little worried about as my car is stripped and half caged and any little extra vibrations do tend to transfer to the cage at certain revs ).

nice need some of these. Shame you can't solid mount the rear like the fronts these black bushes should do nicely tho!!

where is best to buy? Direct?
 
There's a few places on e bay that sell them, you don't get much discounting with Powerflex though, they tend to be pretty much the same across the board with their distributors.
