Twingo RS: The Ball Joint Upgrade You Didn't Know About

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- We recently changed the screw-in style Ball Joints on our Renault Twingo RS133. These are not the normal type of Ball Joints you would come across on a car and can be a little more tricky to change! We take you through the steps we took to change and hopefully this will help you on your own car. A lot of people just replace the whole arm. But doing it this way, it'll save you a few quid!

mine has just gone, it's a good thing you've done this cause the old forums say "take it to a truck garage to press it in" god knows how many people have butchered their arms taking that advice
Yeah we couldn’t find but info on TH-cam about them so we thought we’d make a quick video, at least the basics are covered!
To remove does it spin clockwise or anti clockwise
If you are looking at it from the bottom it is clockwise to remove it, as if you are tightening it!
It looks like you are not using MAP gas and it will help as it burns hotter. Also the M18 impact would have got that off easier. The M12 is good but not really powerful enough for something stuck like that. I have Milwaukee tools and know what they are good at.
Yeah absolutely, probably why it took a us a few attempts! But at least it come off in the end with the M12, shows how good it is for a small gun really!
Could mapp gas melt the control arm if you leave it on too long. I used mapp , but no cold shock.. M18 impact , and the 4prong sockets pretty much demolished the ball joint holes... One last try I guess 😅😅 just don't wanna overheat it.. only gave it about 2 or 3 mins heat , about 2 or 3 separate times. Not 10 mins 😂
Where can I buy the adapter for remove the ballpoint
You can find it on eBay, if you search Renault Ball Joint Removal tool, it’s the one with the 4 prongs as seen in the video. They are all the same. Hope that helps! 😊
How did you tighten the ball joint on the car with the driveshaft in the way?
Just with the ratchet spanner buddy
