Suspension Lower Balljoint Rubbers

[Dazza1]

Yeah mines the same age

 

[JMR]

Mines just two years old, 15k miles.

As the car is in the garage for warranty work tomorrow thought I would check the rubber mountings.

They are both perished, looks like it will be having a return visit after Renault have had a look tomorrow afternoon.
Mildly annoying.
Hope they approve the work under warranty.

I'll keep the thread update with the outcome.

no mate no bother at all i phoned RUK before i even took it to the dealer but they replaced under warrenty no problem because it was a common fault

 

[Dazza1]

Mines r both gettin done under warranty on the 5th of next month

 

[JMR]

Mine are both getting done next week.
And the leaking scuttle and wiper spindles are getting removed, sealed and refitted too

All under warranty.

Hope the repair experience is as good as the investigation.

 

[DrDrew]

Which garage are you using JMR? Or you not saying until you've got the outcome?

 

[Dazza1]

The bloke where I took mine looked on there warranty computer and it said for the ball joints Reno pay 100% of it

All fixed and shiny?

 

[JMR]

Haha.

Nope.

Only because when they said theyd do it the following week, I asked did they not have to order the parts in special, and she said no theyre in stock at Renault.

They phoned me a couple of days before to say the wishbones were on special order coming in from France for Tuesday next week.

Cant grumble, at least they let me know.

 

[singlespeed]

^^ anyone would think theres been a run on them recently :lol:

 

[madmatt]

Think they need a recall IMHO

 

[JMR]

Its poor really. Assuming that sooner or later the £350 problem will rear its head again eventually in another 15k miles.

After the warranty has expired.

Hey guys, I know this has prob been covered already and I'm sorry for being a pain, but the bushes on my twingo have gone... Knocking on uneven ground and when I got a price from Renault thy want £348.49 inc vat anywhere else cheaper?

Are you out of warranty?

Even if you are, it's still worth giving RUK customer services a call, as if you're lucky they /may/ offer you a contribution.

FYI guys this is also now part of the MOT service so if they're broke it will fail. As mine did and mine were the same as pictured above. Obviously now I have some new ones how long roughly do we think they will last?
