Anyone know of 1; it’s possible? And 2; if it will then let me play with some camber? Had my geo done on the r26 and the back seems to be way out of whack. Garage thinks the rear beam needs replacing, so thinking of going MK3 beam as an ‘upgrade’. Thanks
I’m no expert, I just drive the thing. I’m led to believe however, that a MK3 rear beam allows you to add camber shims to the rear. The MK2 beam as I understand it, does not.
Wider track you mean? Or wider mounting points?. I've never thought a mk3 rear beam will fit an 225/r26 !! Hehe
Hi mate. Any idea how much wider the track is? May present a problem if running slightly aggressive offsets on the rear.
The pic I saw of one running on 18” cup wheels sat spot on with the wheels flush to the arch, I’ll see if I can find the pic.
That does look a.good fitment. I'd struggled to find a pic on OEM MK3 wheels. https://www.facebook.com/groups/meganesport/permalink/10157413763114233/ This has good info on it. I don't like how the wheels sit though, seem to be a bit too far out for me. Given lots of MK3 owners run 17s, would this be an option too once running 5*114.3? Smaller size might help with fitment. Apparently there is a Scenic rear axle that's the same as the RS250 axle. Find it hard to believe though. Need to do more searching
Don’t see why you couldn’t fit 17’s if you wanted to. Would be surprised if the scenic axle was the same, does the mk3 run an arb like an r26?
Be surprised too. The mechanic I use here in Ireland is an RS specialist has mentioned it to me and I've also this post saved on FB.. https://m.facebook.com/groups/renaultmeganesportownersclub/permalink/2097869697176423/ Like you, I'm sceptical though
i expect the geo is out because your rear beam bushes are knackered.Had this on mine...Put new bushes in,and the geo is now within tolerences..
I’d have been inclined to agree, apart from the fact it’s had all power flex bushes within the last 12 months, and it’s done literally 2k miles
I already have mine ready. now i need to buy 5x114 tires. but 17 or 18? I have great doubts that it is better
5x114 more variety of tires. both new and second hand. on the front I have megane 3 brakes. more comfortable to change discs and not modify from 5x108 to 5x114
Can somebody help me. i am looking and there are 2 mk3 rear beam models 555010148R sport chassis 555015448R chassis cup but I don't see a recorded reference or something aesthetic that differentiates them. How do I know which model I buy?
