- Balljoint replacement on a Mk3 Clio. The car failed an MOT test on this balljoint. The replacement part was £12. The garage quoted £60 to supply and fit, not a huge amount. This is not a “how to” video, just me changing it the way I would with the tools available at that time. Thanks for watching.
Good job mate your video helped 👍
really useful, thanks
Hi I have tried my best striped down past the brakes and disc's off and bought the kit you have to remove ball joint but can't get the 15mm nut off how did you
Thanks for the tip brother i own a mk2 renault megane which in the front train is almost indentical to your clio in terms of components.
I'll be sharing your pain shortly! My mk2 just failed on both lower ball joints!
Thanks for the video. I'll be giving this a go next week on a mk 4
Nicely mended matey. Now I know how to replace the ball joints on my Renault Clio Mk3. Can you do a video on how to replace the crankshaft oil seal on an Audi A3? I'm having no end of bother with mine 👍
I’ll be sure to do a video on that if the opportunity arises. Ken?
Have you to remove anything else besides the wheel to do this job ?
The nut that holds the ball joint on I've removed the nut on the RHS but is the another thread because I've noticed you using a socket on the other side of the bolt
It’s not threaded, the bolt can be tight to remove due to rust. Give it a soaking with some penetrating fluid. I used the ratchet to remove the bolt. You could try putting the nut on partially, place a socket on the nut and give it a tap to see if that will help to release it.
Nice job,
Great DYS. Do you have the reference for the balljoint, please? Thanks for sharing!
Hi, I can’t be certain that this is correct but look up 401604793R to see if it helps.
Thanks.
@@menditmatey3368 I'll take a look on ebay etc. 👍Nothing come as a result. Maybee is missing a number or so...
Salut, ma clio a 220000 kms.
Cela vaut il le coup de changer les triangles de suspension ?
Merci pour ton aide
Je pense qu'il ne parle pas français
Good Job bro ! Can u help me ? Do you know the VEMA suspension parts brand? Do you have any advice you can give me?
That’s not a brand that I’m familiar with. What sort of advice are you looking for?
Thanks.
And now my abs light is on
nice view of your elbow
Good of you to take the time to make a video and upload it.
Is that a standard vice grip your using? Trying to figure out how to remove the same ball joint
It was long nose pliers to remove the retaining clip. The other tool to press out and press in the balljoint is a balljoint service tool, you can get them on eBay.
@@menditmatey3368 thanks mate appreciate the response
The suspension arm is bent
Just get the driveshaft out of the wheel hub and get yourself some space dude. The correct way is to press the ball joint the opposite way out
