Ebay lower wishbone

[alpi42]

Hi @ all. I'm from Germany and want some new lower wishbones but want to look on the money, too. I found some nonames on ebay like this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163287229096
Are those worth the lower price, are they trash or possibly originals? Thanks for any answer

A few people have bought them and they have failed really quickly (a couple of people they failed in less than 3 months!)

I would stay away from them personally and get ones from Renault, or get new ball joints for your current ones.

Rebuild the arms you have the genuine bushes are about £38 for both sides and the ball joint is about £60 each

Sadly I would rebuild it but the Clio is my dayli and have to be done without any risk.. I rebuild the the old one so I got everytime a fast backup.

I'm probably a bit late to the party with this, but I found the 'ebay wishbones' are made to different dimensional tolerances. For example, the hole for large bush at the back of the arm is slightly bigger than O.E, so if you buy Powerflex Black-series bushes with the interference fit seat rings they end up being a loose fit. I had to get seat rings machined specially.
