if you get all those bits seperate from renault expect to pay at least £200 (not including the shock absorber itself itself) and thats according to my price list which is now a year out of date.
GSF dont do the one for the 16v so thats not an option
you are better off getting some off a 19 thats being broken, just get the complete shock for each side |

Aye i would say so, are you getting a lovely creaking noise from up there then ?
your bearings are probably just dry, could be more cost effective to take the top mount off, give it all a good clean and regrease them, once you have the top nut from the shock off, the top mount comes apart and you get access to the bearings |

Should do, when mine came off they were dry as a bone. |
