250 Track Rod End Part Missing

Hi,

I posted in the wrong section previously. I’m trying to source some missing parts.

It’s the adaptor/sleeve/hub insert that fits between the track rod ends and the hub.

They tend to be seized onto the track rod ends when removed.

Picture of track rod end with adaptor:

(Pictures taken from a Clio forum thread of someone who had the same problem)



And picture of one without:



Can’t order it from Renault separately. It comes as part of the hub.

Can’t find any second hand anywhere.

Last resort will be to get some machined up, but ideally I could do with the dimensions.

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

No it’s not threaded, it simply slides onto the tapered section of the track rod end ball joint and then almost acts like an adaptor between that and the hole in the hub.

Hard to explain but hopefully the pictures above make sense.

 

Yep. Stuck to my old track rod ends which I threw out ...

 

Yeah they are sold on eBay now. Someone makes them. Charges a decent amount for them! But it’s worth it as no one else does them.

No worries. I ended up buying a whole hub assembly second hand just to get the part. But that was before these were being made
