Right Front Steering Knuckle (Ball Joint Included) - Renault Megane 3 RS

Megane 3 RS Steering Knuckle: The Heart of Your Sports Car's Road Connection

At Optimiz Access, experts in high-performance parts for sports vehicles, we know that the front axle of the Renault Megane 3 RS is its signature. The Right Front Steering Knuckle (or wheel hub carrier) is the central element that maintains wheel alignment, supports the wheel bearing, and ensures the essential junction with the suspension and the track control arm. If this element, and especially its lower pivot ball joint, is worn, you immediately lose what makes your car strong.

What you lose with a worn Steering Knuckle and Ball Joint

Not replacing a defective steering knuckle or lower pivot ball joint on your Megane RS is not just a loss of performance, it is a risk:

• Loss of Steering Precision: Wear on the pivot ball joint creates play in the wheel axis. This play translates into less direct steering, a feeling of wandering or imprecision, making road holding and corner positioning dangerous. You lose the absolute confidence that the Renault Sport chassis offers you.
• Risk of Failure and Safety: The lower ball joint is subjected to enormous stress, especially during heavy braking or driving over bumps. A major failure can lead to a rupture and total loss of control. You expose your safety and that of your passengers.
• Accelerated Tyre and Brake Wear: Play in the pivot alters the caster and camber angles. This causes premature and abnormal tyre wear, and can even affect the performance of your braking system by modifying the applied forces.
• Abnormal Noises and Clunks: One of the clearest symptoms is the appearance of dull clunking noises or squeaks, especially during low-speed maneuvers, crossing speed bumps, or when shifting load. You lose the pleasure of quiet, healthy driving.

Why choose the Genuine Renault Sport Right Front Steering Knuckle?

This product is the complete solution, offering OEM quality for your Megane 3 RS:

• Lower Pivot Ball Joint Included: This is the key point. The lower ball joint is supplied and pre-assembled, solving in one go the most frequent problem on the front axle of these models. No need to search for a replacement part not detailed by Renault.
• Perfect Fitment and Geometry: By choosing the Genuine Renault part, you ensure that the assembly tolerances (for the wheel bearing and other suspension elements) respect the exact specifications of your Megane RS. You regain perfect geometry immediately upon installation.
• Durability and Resistance: Designed for the demands of the sports vehicle, this steering knuckle guarantees reliability even under intensive use.

No. This steering knuckle is supplied with the lower pivot ball joint, but the wheel bearing is not included and must be ordered separately. We strongly recommend systematically replacing the bearing when changing the steering knuckle for optimal reliability. Necessary complementary products are listed at the bottom of the page (bearing, lower ball joint bolt, etc.).
