CLIO 197 / 200 BALL JOINTS

[zob2001]

Hi

I am a proud owner of a couple of Renault Clio 197 / Clio 200. I have been told from Renault that the Ball joints for the lower arms can not be replaced,
I have done some online research and in fact, this is not true. Renault are making money by selling the full arm. I have found this post of a seller on eBay selling the ball joints in all variations of Lower Upper etc.

Hope this helps someone

@Raptor6767 has been selling uprated balljoints for ages on this forum:

Suj. Do you know which part of them is uprated?

I've always fitted the ones of eBay. Seem decent enough and come with the hardware required too.

The material used, grease and the sealing system. [emoji41]

True, the ones off ebay are 100% quality, The ones Raptor6767 sells are really expensive

I bought Raptors ball joints his lower ball joint has a rubber boot that keeps the dirt out of the lower ball joint which is the main factor for failure anodising the ball joint body I can't see being any benefit it does no work after fitting I regard Raptors as being uprated so comparing price is not a fair comparison.

Zob2001 why not join the forum I would like to see pictures of your Clio's together it's not often we have someone with two, any other cost saving repairs would be welcome that's what the forum is for.

Truthfully I've never used his or the ones off eBay, but many people on this forum and friends have used raptors ones and they're well chuffed.

Why I've not mentioned quality in my post, I would only post about my own experience really.
