if you are on about the pinch bolt then they are strengthend ones. i put a normal one in mine for 2 days until the one i ordered from renault came and when i went to change it, the normal one i put in was fooked so its a good job i changed it.

thats not a clio but for illustration purposes, im looking for just the nut, the silver one at the top?

Anyone help?

Did you not get new bolts with the track rod ends?

 

[Craig.H]

They ain't new, had to remove it to replace front hub and buggered the threads puttin it back on :dapprove:

 

[Dave..]

Buy new ones then. They aren't expensive, and changing them while everythings apart means not having to do them in the future.

the track rod ends are fine though, they cant be that old so for the sake of 1 nut i would rathter just replace it.

its a metric fine thread i believe, will just try the local motor factors
