Suspension bolt size?

[melvin1993]

I'll be changing the factory socks over this coming weekend and I don't want to but the old rust items back on the car. Iv had a look on here and can't find a definitive answer/no one confirmed it to be true

could some one tell me the size of the bolts that hold the front shock the the hub and the rear shock to the axel

Any help would be brilliant thank you

Your Mk3 or Mk2?

Mk2 is M14 through the shock/hub, but they need to be the Genuine renault ones, as they are shouldered and splined. Circa £7 each IIRC.

Rear is a M12 IIrc, again, shouldered, so ideally Genuine again.

Cheers Alex!

its for the mk2 so ideally just clean then up best as I can then

I priced these from Renault, and Alex is about right in his prices. Remember that you will need the nuts for the fronts aswell.

In the end up scrubbed mine clean with a wire brush and copper slipped them to death.

I have no plans of getting them off again during my ownership, and neither should the next owner as its all just been freshly rebuilt.

Maybe be just as easy cleaning them up. Or get one of each from a scrappy and take it to a fastenings place beside me see what they can offer me

cheers mate

If you do get second hand, has to be from a 172/182, as Non-sports run M12 bolts.
