Hi, I'm struggling to purchase the upper and lower swivel bearings without going direct to Renault, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks
Never known the top ones need replacing, it's always the bottom ones, i have spares just in case, think i have the part numbers but there in my workshop. There are aftermarket bearings available, you wont get the bearings from Renault, they only sell the hub unit
You can try these if you want to replace the lower bearing as well as the insert.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/32472021...KpKuEOKQDC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY They don’t have the hole drilled in the inner part though so I’d drill a hole in case the bearing spins and doesn’t tighten. OEM have the hole pre-drilled.
You can see the hole you need to drill in the insert in the pictures in this thread https://rsmegane.com/threads/belated-swivel-bearing-replacement-guide.11357/page-2
I'm also looking to replace the inner and outer track rods which I've already purchased but have just read somewhere that the track rods for a megane sport are different from a standard megane, is this true? Thanks
its is true that the outers are longer, but i have used the standard ones as there only about 15-20mm longer, also did over a years worth of trackdays with them and i didn't have a problem, the Mk3 ones are totally different there about 55mm longer so not a chance of them fitting at all.
I had these fitted on mine so you can add grease and stop them drying out https://shop.turborenault.co.uk/?product=megane-grease-bolts Not used them yet but looked like a good idea
