drive shaft poping out

[gimme5]

put new bottom arms, springs and shocks on car,but when i fasten hub nut up on
passenger side it is pulling shaft out of gearbox enough to make it jump in and out when in gear being restoreing car for nearly 5 yrs and fitted arms etc 4 yrs ago
is it possible to get a slightly longer bottom arm of a different model by mistake
also sitting high with engine back in think i might have wrong springs f###ing motor factors

yep, it's pretty common to be given clio arms by mistake. Do you have a load of negative camber?

edit - I keep saying clio, but I think kit might be R11 instead

[gimme5]

is that where wheel go's in at top if so then yer but not really noticable
must have clio ones on, cant return them after 4 yrs bummer

someone posted some pics showing where to measure the arms to confirm what you have, have a search, I'll see if I can find it too.

unfortunately the pic that "The Master" posted has gone, but the dimension he gave should be right.

the measurment they give, is this the length edge to edge?

thanks alot for help i know what i need to do to get this sorted

yes it'll be your wishbones.

i had the same issue, after fitting polybushes to the wishbones and fitting them then noticing that the car had alot of negative camber(which looked kinda kool) i found with help on here that i was supplied with r9/r11 wishbones i still have these sat in the garage.
was all sorted when fitted with the right wishbones

so on the r11 is it just the wishbones and driveshafts that differ.. ie the subframe remains the same?

i *think* that's different too

[gimme5]

looks like this might grow arms and legs!!!!!!!!

you're right Andy

it's bigger, about 4-5 inches either way

[c7borg]

is there anywhere other than Renault that sells the r11 driveshafts.. it's not something GSF seem to do?

new bottom arm fitted, problem sorted could'nt believe difference when i offered it up to the other one
