Replacement of Suspension Wishbones

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Control arm

The failure of the support bushes (silent blocks) of the suspension wishbones and the corresponding ball joint connecting the wishbone to the hub is quite common: in these cases, you can either replace just the bushes and the ball joint (specific repair kits are available) or replace the entire wishbone (given the relatively low cost, this solution is recommended); for both options, you must remove the wishbone; therefore, lift the vehicle, disconnect the strut from the wishbone, and undo the fixing bolts of the two bushes and the ball joint; remove the old wishbone and install the new one, proceeding in the same manner on both sides.
