  1. Looks like lower arms that fit the r26 / r26r /dci sport etc are out of stock at Renault and no date when they will be back in

    Not sure what everyone is going to do when they need replacing ? Guess you can change bushes and ball joint but getting the large rear bush out bends the arm

    Rofag have plenty stock, granted you'll pay a bit more
     
  3. Didn’t even think about them and yes they have stock and actually a good price accept the postage costs - I wonder if they bought up all the lower arms ?? Hmmmm

    How does it bend the arm? Surely there is a way of doing it without damaging the arm?
     
  5. I've had mine done without bending them
     
  6. It’s tricky to get the big rear dognut type bush out as the arm is not flat so you need to build up a jig or something to hold it flat and true to press it out
     
  7. When I did mine the large rear bush came out easy. Piece of tube larger in diameter than the bush and just press it out.

    The bush ive circled was the worst to get out. The arm is an awkward shape and I couldnt get it in the press. I had to burn out the rubber insert, hacksaw through the outer sleeve and knock it out by hand.
