Tie Bar / Link Arm?

[16_Valve]

Been told by my mechanic that I need to replace the n/s/f link arm... Need to order the part but not sure if he means 'inner track rod'? Are they the same thing? thanks...

Nope

The inner tie Rod is the arm that attaches to the steering rack and the track rod end is the part that attaches to the hub assembly (metal with a ball joint and rubber boot)

the tie rod is the part they screw in or out of the track rod end for your vehicle tracking (geometry)


I hope this makes sense

Probably means the drop links.
I don't guarantee this to be the correct one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-RENAULT-CLIO-ANTI-ROLL-BAR-BUSH-DROP-LINK-/270714356544

Makes perfect sense but still a little uncertain which part I need... Think it might be one of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-M...it-Steering-Link-Rod-7701475837-/271120857813

Thanks for that but don't think it's the ARB link... Could be wrong though

You were spot on 1812lsd.. it was the anti roll bar link that needed replacing, exactly as shown in the video! Job done after lots of hassle compressing the centre rubber section enough to expose the bolt thread for the new lock nut to go on (had to use a jack underneath the anti roll bar). Thanks for your advice..
