Fantastic , thanks. I can see why you guys have such a good reputation. very helpful. Would you be able to PM me a price for supplying the two required ball joints then ? I will have to get them fitted locally though as I live in North Norfolk.

Well just spoke to my garage and got some prices on the roll bar link at £48 + vat and the bottom ball joint assembly at £190+vat !! I dont suppose you could guide me on what parts I need at all ? That would be great. Sorry I'm not coming to you at Diamond but my brother is a customer :wink:

Wow !! That's pricey..But I think you may be right on this and it has to be right afterall so will get the drop link done first then move onto the ball joint next. Thanks very much for your help. Appreciated.

I just spoke to my mechanic to get him to order a drop link and see if that cures it then move to the bottom ball joint like you say this could be the culprit. Is it a major job to do the bottom ball joint ? Thanks very much for your help so far. Neil

Brilliant , thanks for that info:smile:

Hmmmm , ok thanks for that I will let him know to check that then.

Hmmm yep it's a weird one almost like a mild donking noise but everything feels fine with the suspension and feel of the car. Confused. Sometimes if I just roll slowly down a hill say in 4th it will do it consistently.

Over the last few months I have had a mystery slight knocking noise from my front suspension area which doesn't happen all the time and also can equally happen on straight bits of road or bumpy roads. Being ex motor trade I thought about all the usual suspects , roll bar link , suspension...

So had the service done and new brakes fitted yesterday and early impressions are that the difference is pretty damn big with a much firmer initial pedal feel with no squishy feel at all and with really strong retardation even after only doing 30 odd miles so far. I feel much more confident on...

Well decision made and ordered the following from George. Brembo HP2000 Sport front pads , Brembo HC discs , ATE BF and the Goodridge braided hoses. Should have these by the end of next week and fit them early next week. Should be interesting seeing how the HP2000 pads feel on the Clio. Had...

Great video , thanks for sharing that..

I had 1155 on my old Trophy and they were amazing when warm but pretty average when cold and squealed in traffic constantly . Well I'm only looking to uprated ones as mine are getting worn and will be doing maybe 4-5 track days a year so makes sense but honestly for the road you are right it's...

This is making me question my first choice pad of the Brembo HP2000 Sport as I think they are about £130 a set. Had these before on my old TTRS and big turbo S3 track car and were bloody brilliant. But maybe on a Clio as you say a simple Pagid pad could work.

Ahhhh right yes I watched your race , sat in the stand next to the bomb hole , car looked nice through there..sounded sweet too.

Hmmm what type ? Funnily enough I have ran Pagid before on many different cars and been happy with them but havent read anything about them on Clio's mind..
