Genuine Renault Steering Rack - Clio 3 RS

The dangers of a worn steering rack on your Renault Clio 3 RS

Driving with steering that exhibits play or hard spots is not just uncomfortable; it is a major safety risk. By keeping a tired steering rack, you lose all the precision of the independent steering axis front suspension (PerfoHub), a hallmark of the Clio III RS. A failing steering box can lead to vague trajectories, uneven tire wear, and in the most severe cases, a loss of control during heavy cornering on track or winding roads.

Genuine Renault Quality for your Sport Chassis

Unlike "reconditioned" or "service exchange" parts where the origin of internal components is often uncertain, this brand-new steering rack is an official Renault product. It guarantees perfect compatibility with your steering column and assistance system. Installing an original part ensures that the steering ratios and material strength are exactly what the Renault Sport engineers intended.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Clio 3 RS Steering Rack

When should you replace your steering rack?

Several signs are unmistakable: a dull knocking sound during maneuvers, a "floating" sensation at high speeds, or visible leaks near the bellows. If play persists after checking your outer tie rods, the internal housing of the rack is likely the cause.

Why is the rack delivered without tie rods?

As a structural replacement part, it allows you to choose your peripheral components. For a total renovation, we recommend pairing this product with new inner tie rods and track rod ends to ensure that the precision of the new part is not compromised by old, worn elements.

Is it compatible with all Clio 3 models?

No, this model is exclusively reserved for the Clio 3 RS (Phase 1 and Phase 2). Its calibration and travel are specific to the wide front track of the sports range.

Note: You can find track rod ends, inner tie rods, and hub carrier inserts at the bottom of this product page in our accessories selection.
