[Harry_manback]

hit a pothole a while back it buckled my alloy but i never checked the suspension to see if it damaged it, looks like it has!!!

 

[kully]

[kev O]

does your car make a funny noise when turning????

 

[Harry_manback]

not really. seems ok didnt notices TBH, just saw it when i had the wheel off.

 

[Andy_J]

Anti roll bar or something!? Get it sorted mate!

 

[Harry_manback]

na mate the front, u can see the drive shaft!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

thats

1 buggered wheel
1 buggered outside ARB bush (bugger to fit)
looks like you might of damage the CV gaitor too

 

[Harry_manback]

yeh the alloys fucked, but u know im not bothered about that fred!
the gators ok its just wet from the road.
wheres the arb bush???

 

[Fred@BTM]

the bit with grease on it, looks like the bolt has snapped and fallen out

 

[Harry_manback]

yeh the bit that looks like a 'turd' to kullycliosport,
i have been to renault and they are getting me all the bits, sounds pricey!!!

 

[16v_jon]

the bush it the bit that looks like turd, there easy to change you need to jack the whole front up remove the old stuff, then clamp then fit the new bush , the hard part is putting the bottom rubber bit on, you need a big bar and jack get a mate to push the wishbone down and put the jack under the wishbone this will compress the middle rubber part so you can fit the last part on which is half rubber half metal the put the nut on. your talking a couple of hours labor at ren for a £12 part

Harry are you a member on antandpete.co.uk ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

should look like this

 

[theduck]

they are a b*****d to fit, and make sure your torque it up properly, coz if you do it to tight it'll snap again, and too loose and it will just come off. I had to mine twice in as many months.

 

[Harry_manback]

anyone know the torque setting?????

 

[theduck]

nope, sorry mate, parkers doesnt have the troque setting in it. Hence my first one snapped. Garage did the second one fore free as part of my over-priced mot!

 

[Harry_manback]

well ill just nip it up then ;D

how come yours broke off theduckeatspork

 

[theduck]

common fault apparently

 

[Harry_manback]

sorted, bit of a pain in the arse TBH, squashing it all together enough to get the nut on is the biggest problem, epecially when it gets dark and the heavens open!!!

 

[theduck]

haha exactly what happened to me when i did mine!

 

[Djw John]

Yeah its about 40 lb ft of torque iirc and the part only cost me a fiver. Glad its sorted
