as title really, apart from renault..

Think it's Renault only

Yep, 99% sure it's renault only, and iirc its a complete arm on the RS models, you cant just buy a balljoint!

My local factors can get QH lower balljoints seperate for the non-RS/RS models, they're about £10 a pop. Changed 2 on my old 1.6 and they seemed fine quality and fit wise. Much better than the £60odd (iirc) renault wanted for a full lower arm.

erm, the wishbone and balljoint are separate parts bolted together on my 172ph2.
And the ball joint's can be had separately from people like eurocarparts, gsf iirc?

But you can only buy them bolted togther.

You can get copy cat parts I woulnd't touch them.

Yep you can buy the ball joints separate, used them before and they are fine.

This chap is right and knows his stuff. for clios you have to buy the complete arm.

 

[bmh.01]

You can get them seperate, just not from renault.

i've never found them for the RS anywhere apart from renault, i've always had to buy from the dealer, trade discout helps

Correct. I had to buy a wishbone to get the ball joint, I had people telling me you could get it as a seperate part but you can't. There is a couple of mm difference apparently, consequently, the whole arm needs to be purchased. It cost me around £60 for the arm and £15 to have it fitted.

Actually I think we had this discussion lemonnobby1 on another post when I needed mine about 6 month ago.

have you tried shop4parts.co.uk, they sell genuine renault parts. ive had oil filter and ignition coil from them, have a look

 

[lemonnobby]

Well i can get ball joints on the own as i work for renault but i dont recommend them

Just to clarify you can buy another Renault car part which does fit I don't recomend it or any copy cat part for the car do it right.
