Clio mk2 1.2
So I’ve been running 20mm spacers on all four corners of my 1.2 mk2 for years.
About six months ago my NSR bearing starts grinding gently and then very quickly not gently. I changed the bearing on the NSR buty press doesn’t have the force to get the OSR bearing out. Luckily when I put it all back together the grinding stopped.
Three months with spacers still on, the grinding is back and it’s definitely the NSR. I replace again and take the spacers off the rear completely. No noise. Back on the road.
One month later, grinding.
I’ve torqued up all bolts each time so the problem must be with the stub axle or worse the main axle.
Im thinking of replacing the entire rear beam but im getting flashbacks from when I removed the isofix bar from the interior and had to deal with the diagonal bolts.does anyone have experience with rear beam replacement?
