Shock absorber bolt question



  Mégane RS
Recieved my shock absorbers 2day, just the fronts, the bloke who i brought them off said they needed 2 new bolts :S and that they were a few quid!!!

anyone know what he's on about lol
 
The lower bolts which hold the shock to the hub he's on about ideally you should replace them but I just use locking compund and torque them up right and there fine.
 
Cheers Edde, where can i get them from lol??

Renault for offical ones.
You can in theory run any bolts 14mm diamter thery are but if you want to run more camber then use a 14mm for the bottom and a 13 or 12 for the top one.

Just use some decient bolts. B and Q arn't acceptable. They arn't done upto much torque (100NM) but if they fail then its a big crash time.

Yeah... if there is one place you get the right bolts, it would be the lower shock bolts. Could be nasty !!

A few quid. Say £6 for 4.
Fred will have some spare though most likly.
Just thinking if you don't have an RS (I'd though you had a 172) there 13mm bolts. not 14mm like the 172/182 use.

cool ok, well i will go into renault and see how much they are, stupid question but are the shock absorber bolts universal cause i have a set of spax dampers, thanks
