Offside Lower Pin and Bearing

[Hassleheff]

Car is in for 5 year service and just been told I need a new offside lower pin and bearing assembly.

Been quoted £450, does this sound reasonable?

Cheers.

Is this another name for the lower ball joint?

 

[Hassleheff]

Yep, lower ball joint, 'pin and bearing have gone'. Sorry me being unclear!

£450 is pretty good from a garage,
depending how close you are, (I traveled 2 hours)
Aaron's autos in Derby do them and just replace the joint for £175 inc vat, took them a moring to do it

 

[Hassleheff]

It would be the same distance for me, but they clearly look like the guys to deal with this.

Do you know if it is a part they have commissioned / machined themselves or is it the genuine Renault joint that they have managed to source on its own away from the hub?

 

[Hassleheff]

Just spoke to Aaron, its a genuine part. Looks like its a day off work and a trip down the M6

Glad to hear your getting it sorted! They did it no hassle on my 200, in under the time they said, couldn't recommend them more.
A Toyota main dealer had the car for 3 days when the other side was done under warranty
