Shock the Suspensions Gone again!!!

[Aberclio182]

Third time now that the suspension on my 182 has gone at the back!! This time its both sides!! renaults really are cheap sh*t lol

its finally made my mind up, car is getting sold sooner rather than later,

(M3,350z or vx220 turbo)

You mean the dampers ?

Ive had 4 on the same corner of mine...... seems the 4th was the best as its been fine for about a year. They all went so quick..... gash quality eh !?

There better than loads of replacment stuff out there.

surely not in terms of quality edde...

How are standard dampers better than h&r's in terms of quality?

Does sound bad mate, seems like something else is affecting the suspension for them to keep failing though.

Yep I'm seen some right junk for supposed big named places. You have to think Renault invest a lot more than other companies.

There not H and R is good stuff but I'm not going to start listing companies who's stuff is junk etc as some places make unless cheap stuff and decient expensive high spec stuff (also depends where its used on track etc)

in terms of design i dont disagree... in terms of finishing quality/materials.. im not qutie so sure. The cost per unit seems more important than the cost of future warranty work. if things were reveresed then maybe renault would make some progress.

Possible yep however many driver on here arn't typical RS drivers and drive them harder so we have a higher adverage claim rate realy. Plus the 182 rear dampers have had bad batches it seems.

I've seen sme shocking aftermarket though makes Renault look well superb in build and design and failure rate.
