Re: Track rod ends QUERY

Thanks for the info.

I'm going to put the car back into a local garage today and see what they come up with.

This '53 plate Renault will gave cost me in excess of 700UKP this year in repairs alone! (And I've owned it from new with 52k miles on it.)

Re: Track rod ends QUERY

I did have an obvious clunking when driving over uneven ground, until I replaced the lower ball joint & wishbone on eth N/S front last week.

Since then, everything seems tight and solid, yet there is this play in the wheel...

Last weekend I had new front tyres fitted. When the mechanic went to do the tracking, he showed me 2-3mm of '...

Re: Knock from OSF when going over bumps?

I have the same 'knock' / 'clunk' when going over small bumps (and I cringe when going over rough ground!). However, when the car was stationary with the hand-brake on, I was able to rock the NSF wheel back/forwards by about an inch to two inches, almost like it was somehow loose in the way it was a...

Hi, This time last year, my front off-side coil/spring cracked and broke, about two 'twists' down from the top of the coil/spring. I had to drive the car to the garage (not far away) and they replaced the part. The garage told me that the broken coil/spring had damaged the internal mounting, and the...
