EE' Bracket Pair Swivel Hub / Arm Clio 3 X85 Cup

Why Replace the EE' Brackets on Your Renault Clio 3 X85 Cup?

During track days and motorsport competition, the independent steering axis front suspension on the Renault Clio 3 X85 Cup endures extreme mechanical loads. The EE' bracket pair provides the critical structural linkage between the aluminum hub carrier and the lower control arm (wishbone). Over relentless track sessions, curb impacts, and heavy braking forces, these connection brackets can suffer micro-fretting or subtle distortions that are impossible to spot with the naked eye.

What You Risk by Racing with Worn Connection Brackets

Using degraded hub linkage components on a race car exposes your setup to major mechanical setbacks and compromises overall chassis efficiency:

• Loss of Front-End Steering Precision: Even minute play at the hub/wishbone interface alters camber and caster angles under heavy cornering loads, making the front end feel unpredictable.
• Premature Wear on Ball Joints and Links: Misaligned forces increase stress on swivel ball joints as well as wishbone bushings or Uniball spherical bearings.
• Risk of Failure Under Heavy Load: A component weakened by mechanical fatigue or repeated curb strikes risks sudden failure during hard cornering or aggressive braking.
• Inability to Source OEM Parts: Discontinued production of official factory race parts leaves many competition cars stuck in the paddock.

High-Precision Remanufacturing Designed for Competition

To meet the demands of drivers and race teams, this remanufactured EE' bracket pair was developed strictly adhering to the original dimensions and geometry of the X85 Cup chassis. Machined from a high-strength metal alloy, it guarantees optimal rigidity under load and exceptional durability under harsh track conditions.

Vehicle and Chassis Compatibility

This pair of connecting brackets/plates is specifically engineered for:

• Renault Clio 3 Cup (X85 race car chassis)
• Setups utilizing the specific Renault Sport motorsport independent steering axis front suspension

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Chassis & Motorsport Advice

How do I check for wear or deformation in the EE' brackets?

During routine front end overhauls or after severe curb contact, disassemble the hub carrier / wishbone assembly to inspect the mounting mating faces. Any signs of metal fretting, fretting corrosion (reddish dust), or play at the centering point indicate an immediate need for replacement.

Does the pair include both left and right sides?

Yes, this product is supplied as a complete pair (left-hand bracket and right-hand bracket) to ensure symmetrical, uniform replacement across your front suspension.

Is a wheel alignment necessary after installation?

Unquestionably. Any service that detaches the hub carrier from the control arm alters wheel alignment and spindle orientation. A full alignment check—including toe, camber, and ride height—is mandatory after installation.

Can I have these parts fitted and my chassis set up at Optimiz Access?

Yes. Our skilled technicians can handle component fitting, swivel hub overhauls, and race suspension alignment at our specialized facility.
