Hi guys,
As I had a small knock in the ice and now my tracking is out, I thought I would take the opportunity to refresh the wishbones, track rods and end and possibly the suspension.
I am a bit cauious to fit valver track rods as i know they are short and pushed to the limit of thread when installed on a willy.
I went to renault for a quote just to see how much for original parts.
so renault said:
wishbone 58 pounds each (ex VAT)
Track rod 40.92 pounds (ex VAT)
Track rod end 73.32 pounds (ex VAT)...cant belive that!
Shock 48.69 (ex VAT)
Springs 84.13 (ex VAT)
I know I can use R19 16V wishbones which are about 30 pounds each from GSF...so will get those.
The shock price is not too bad i feel.
I could even stretch to the track rod
BUT i do not want to pay that much for the springs or the track rod ends.
Could I use valver track rod ends ? could these be purchased from GSF?
And can I get springs cheaper anywhere else or do I have to pay that much?
Advice would be grateful as I know many of you guys have replaced these parts.
PS...what is the best oil to use!...i know its probably been asked but i see what you say!
Cheers
