I wonder if these would fit?

These are cheaper and also stronger than the Renault part.

How do you work out they are cheaper?

£118.56 in the size you would need? The renault part is £50 each....

Also, i'm not sure they would be suitable as a replacement for this part, it says they only have a 20 degree movement and i'm sure you would need more than that.

Ahh, I hadn't clicked through all the sizes.

You'll need a big hammer too, I think they are in pretty tight.

Just got my Lemförder parts from France. Delivery took 4 days including weekend.
84€ for pair.

Where did you order them from? Directly from Lemforder?

When I asked them they said they are unable to supply due to licencing issues (I wonder if this only counts for the UK?)

Just for anyone that's interested, the ones in the picture are EXACTLY the same as the Renault ones. I presume Lemforder are the manufacturer for the Renault part hance the issues with supplying directly?

No idea, but I tried directly through Lemforder, and through Eurocarparts. They already sell the drop links at Eurocarparts but Lemforder wouldn't sell this linkage to them.

I ended up buying 2 from the dealers at £60 a piece!

New parts still in box.


OEM Parts, TRW. Attention! Those nuts were pretty tight. We destroyed already 1 torx head. I have to use 1 meter metal pipe & 18mm tool for enough torque to open. Same time you have to keep it locked in place with torx tool. T40 I think.


Lemförder parts installed. You have to use another jack to lift little bit from the hub.

Are these a better quality than the OEM ones?

They are the OEM ones. Both the ones I removed and the new LEMFÖRDER ones are stamped with TRW.

You can get a pair delivered from http://www.mister-auto.co.uk/ for £46.

went of the lemforder number earlier in this thread and crossed it to a firstline part. part is described as a stabiliser link and the part number is FDL 7219takes five mins to fit and it isn't a taper fit so no knocking sticks required ! Just a T40 and 18mm spanner/socket and some lube, no need to even remove the wheel !:thumbup:

Thanks, ironically don't need the data now as just picked the car back up from the dealers after they agreed to change them. That said, will probably need to do them myself in 12 months.

Did you use a reseller to get hold of the part? Or are you in the trade?
