Brake compensator

Hi folks, succesfully managed to lower the rear end thanks to the guides posted on here but I have a small problem! rear wheels locking up under hard braking as I am unable to adjust the compensator (rusted bad) think if I force it to much it will break

Is there anyway you guys can think of to sort it out or am I going to have to bite the bullett and buy a new compensator?

thanks for the help.

is it the lever arm thats seized or just the rod?

have u tried plus gas/wd40 or something similar to soak it in?

maybe get a new one from renault if they still sale them if no luck:)

look at where the spring hooks through the compensator arm,it
can were very thin an eventually just 'rust' off,if it looks ok try
as markey b says soak it in plus gas etc...new from renault they
were about £130

If its the rod which that gose from compensator to rear trailing arm.

You could just cut old off and put a second hand one on that can be adusted ;)

I can only get hold of the 4coil versions of the rear compensators. Mine was a 2 coil rod, would there be much difference in the two?
