i was told on the message boards that the rear engine mount was different between the 19 and the megane. Dont know if thats true or not but eurocarparts list a rear engine mount for the 19/megane. I bought it, it fitted my car and it had 19/megane on the pack.
Pain in the arse trying to find out if things will fit. |

Yeah theyre cool about that kind of thing. Besides, if they list it for the 19 and it doesnt fit, theyre obligated to take it back arent they?
let us know how you get on... |

Clio and 19 bushes should be the same
Buy 2 new 19 wishbones with bushes and balljoints if you have the money
BTW powerflex might be cheaper and last longer |

i see... well the clio williams uses suspension bits from the 19, so unless there is a seperate clio williams listed, the clio ones should fit the 19 shouldnt they.
Yeah i know, my logic is highly flawed and im talking out my arse again. |

Out of interest, is it a difficult job to remove and repace the bushes in the wishone?
Was thinking of buying a powerflex set |

apparently it is a pain so i will wait til they REALLY need replacing...i think the problem bit is that the bushes dont just pull out by hand...need a bit of pressing out action |
