Where to get new Front Wishbones ? What size are the bolts ?

[D1CKY]

My lower arm bushes are knocking but it's easier to replace the whole lower arm than press them out and refit new ones.

Does anyone know where the best place to buy new wishbones from ?
I have seen some on eBay for £50 ish quid c/w ball joints.
I'm guessing they ain't genuine Renault ones for that price, would this make any difference ?
Or they just the same without the renault stamp on them ?

I was gonna replace the bolts too as I'm guessing they'll be fucked and rusty and easier I may aswell replace them.
Does anyone know what size they are ?
Are they imperial or metric ?

Hey D1cky,

I bought my Lower arms and Ball joints straight from Renault as all the ebay ones and eurocarpart ones are for standard clios. Think i was £60ish a side +vat I replaced all my bolts too, I got them from Grampian Fasteners in Dyce, Their very good in there and will let you size up bolts from their stock room no problem cheap as chips too.

IIRC there is a fine metric threaded bolt in there somewhere the rest are all course metric but GF had them all.

Ok cheers mate.

Taking my bolts to GF may pose a problem as my car is my daily runner
Heres hoping they come out ok as i can size them up with verniers then refit them with new wishbines and go to GF armed with sizes then remove old and refit new bolts.
Pain in f**king arse i know but unless someone on here come up with the sizes i need i have no option really.

Ideally i'd like to have the new wishbones and bolts sitting there waiting to go on to save me a lot of hassle and having to take them off and on once.
