Suspension top



  RenaultSport clio 182 mk2
Everytime i have my 182 on full left lock it makes a harsh clunkin noise it sounds like the strut is bobbin up and down. i've had a look at all the bolts and there all tight. has any1 else had this same problem and sorted it out??

Cheers Jaff
 
Sounds like its the top mount under the bonnet catching Renault have fix but it doesn't fix it 100%.

It seems like a common problem , but most people i've heard of with it seems to be when they have full right lock on . Mine was doing it so when it was back at Renault for something else i told them . All they said they had done was tighten up some bolts on the subframe :eek: , anyway it doesn't do it now ,lol.

where do they go these spacers?? do u think u could make a quick walk throu for me??
 
  Lionel Richie
open the bonnet, you'll see the 2 top caps (1 per side)

its these that hit the suspension turrets when at full lock

renault know about this problem, so for their more "exclusive" V6 model they decided to fix the problem properly (unlike the warranty "fix" which is to take a grinder to the metal of the turret!)

to install you need a 21mm socket and rachet (you may need an impact gun) undo each top cap, wack on spacer, refit top cap

job el finito

Fred, got a part number yet as i would rather have this mod than the angle grinder:mad:

apparently the only way to get the spacer is to buy the complete top mount kit = ££££

i can machine some up quite easily for not much money

How much do ya want for makin some spacers up as i really can't be doin with the noise anymore lol.

Cheers, Jaff

I had the same problem with my 172 cup. I took it to Renault and they said it was a common problem and was on recall and they sorted it the same day.
 
hhhmmmm didnt realise they had spacers on the Vee think i'll be asking Dennis to pop the bonnet on his at the next meet.
