Roundabouts

[LegoHead]

When throwing the car around roundabouts the front wheels grip perfect, but the car is like bouncing round the corner!! On standard shocks and sportslines. Would new shocks cure this?

Check pressures and tracking.
Shoks should last 50k minimum mine are hammered and lasted 50k or so before it has got bad but even at 67k there still ok realy just not on track.

Will get to renault this week then. As from what i understand of damping, they shouldnt bounce as quick as they do.

do you know the spring rates and damping rates for my car?

Renault won't pay for any warently work unless there either realy bad (forget it so long as they exist there fine in there mind) or they are leaking.

Looks like I may be going for the group buy......probably cheaper than renault prices.

Our groupbuy?

dave spray oil on the shocks before you take it in, simple.

They'll inform you both front shocks are burst.

if you have modded springs they will probably blame them though and wont cover under warranty

My rear shock is leaking and Renault won't touch it!

Karlos try another dealer mate

 

[rory182]

indeed, ive had 5 rear shocks replaced over 18 months under warranty. definite design flaw

 

[Karlos182]

Renault customer services won't touch it either!

 

[rory182]

hmm, unlucky then.

ive never had a problem getting mine sorted.

Will try the wd40 and report back. Renault wolves have said that my mods won't effect my warranty, even the smt6 chip!
