OEM equivalent suspension and steering components *links inside*

Hi Steve
looks about right

 

has anyone tried the TRW track control arms?
http://www.mister-auto.co.uk/en/suspension-arm-track-control-arm/trw-jtc1223_g273_a161JTC1223.html

I know it said earlier in the thread they might not fit but that was quite an old post if anyone has tried?

 

Yeah they still don't fit. The ball joint isn't the correct one either. The 225/R26 ball joints are threaded instead of the pinch bolt fitment.

 

Great thread. I'm just sticking this order in... does it all look correct for an R26 refresh?

 

yes thats the same as I ordered last week and then the inner tie rods from RPD as they were £10 cheaper a rod (£40 each)

hopefully getting it all installed this week, the deliver came pretty quick aswell

 

You got a link for the tie rods?

 

There you go mate

what would it cost approx to have this all installed? a local place I have used before want £200 min but it may be more, just seems a alot for the fitting. Or is this about right?

 

I did my inner toe rods and I dropped the whole subframe in the end only took a few hours but with garage labour cost I can almost see it being that high?

 

For all of the above I got quoted £700 to fit everything .

Their still waiting for my answer...

 

£200 does not seem so bad then, plus its next door to where i work so its easy

 

What?

Takes ten minutes tops a side, that includes a bit of a clean up whilst down there!

You'll need one of these:

 

well its going to cost a little more than £200, took me a long time getting the lower arms out as everything was rock solid, I popped over and had a look and he was having no fun at all. Had to leave the car overnight. He did say the price could go up which I am now guessing will be the case

 

Great post

 

Thanks folks, full kit ordered as above [emoji41]

Tie rod removal tool.

 

Thanks. Done track rod ends, drop links etc. but I've never had to replace an inner tie rod before. Nice and easy with the correct tool.

 

hi all. sorry but had a read of this thread and can't seem to see the link on mr auto for the correct INNER tie rod (just track rod ends)?

I need one for the passenger side (R26).

 

Only Renault part mate. Aftermarket parts are short for the sport range

Buggery bollocks. Ok thanks.

Mark B suggested that mr auto sell them and ive got a credit note for them after they cocked up my civic shocks.

 

Great guide - I'm looking to do a suspension refresh on my R26; got a mister-autos basket that looks identical to SonicUK's above. What I'm missing is inner tie rods (also referred to as steering arms?).

Seen these on RPD: http://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/product/renault-clio-megane-steering-track-rod/

and these on MisterAutos: http://www.mister-auto.co.uk/en/tie-rod-joint/trw-jar971_g51_a161JAR971.html

Can someone tell me if either of these are right, or am I totally off track?!

 

The renaultpartsdirect one is the right one. Mister autos part has a different number. I am pretty sure that iner tie rods are only renault part.

Cheers for that - I was leaning that way, appreciate the confirmation!

 

Yep inner are renault only. Had mine done last week

 

Absolutely brilliant thread this. Good work!

Can someone please confirm the correct Ball Joints to get before I put in an order?

Thanks

Guys, my steering on my R26 is not as sharp as it was.
What should I be replacing to try to eliminate the slight vagueness, I have now?

 

Tyre pressures
Track rod ends
Inner track rod joints
Wheel bearings
Anti rotation link
ARB drop links
Steering swivel bearings
Lower track control arm bushes/ballpoint
Strut mounts
Front struts
Rear dampers
Rear trailing arm front bush
......

 

what about the bush in the steering rack?..

 

Replaced mine for the expensive TFD one. My car had about 138k on it and the bush was fine and didn't need doing.

But yes if it's sloppy that will ruin the steering feel.

Best way is to remove the NS wheel, remove the track rod end from the hub/upright and see if you can move the inner rack joint/rack up and down.

 

ok..unlikely this is the cause then,my car has 42k on it.

 

Anyone have any definite info on strut top mounts and bearings? Do the trw ones listed above fit properly?
Thanks

 

Yup. I had them fitted to my 225 Trophy.

 

Any one got a part number for the tie rod tool please ?

 

What the inner joint removal tool?

Just get one like this:

Did you fit these in the end buddy and were they alright, lasted ok?

 

I did mate yeah they were spot on. I've sold the car since then & they're still going strong.

 

Awesome getting them fitted this week!

 

Is there anyone that can do a list like Gray did, but for the MK3 Meg please??
