Suspension Help

[jaye2992]

Does anybody have a diagram or picture of the order of what goes on the top of the front suspension first and so forth?
Just got all new bits and wondering what goes where, bearings, rubber mounts, washers etc.

Help would be appreciated

Should be: spring, top seat of the spring, bearing, rubber mount, liitle metal washer/tube thingy, nut.

Right think I got that, thanks. What about on the top? Is it just the top mount or should there be something underneath?

On top in the engine bay (above the strut tower)? There is only the topmount/donut thing.

Yes so nothing goes on top under the topmount donut thing? lol

No it just sits on top of the strut.

Although some people have had washers fabricated.

Dose it matter which way the bearings go? And also where would the knocking fix washers go? Sorry for all the questions

 

[Fred@BTM]

yes it matters which way round the bearings go!

Jesus f**king wept!

One guy at work managed to ruin not 1 but 2 putting them in the wrong way round!

Sorry! haha. Its good I asked, which way do they go then?

Domed side facing up so it sits into the rubber top mount.

Anyone know where I can get OE part numbers (specifically for Clio 172 rear shocks!?)

Had another look at it all tonight and the bearing only goes in properly one way anyway so thats all sorted think I should be fine now!

Go to your local renault parts place, should be able to give you a part number and a quote....then just use the part number online

Unfortunately, they aren't keen on giving out part numbers - they know you're gonna take it and find somewhere cheaper!
