I've got a willy widertrack on the valver and I need some longer track rod ends


are the williams track rod ends longer than the 16v ones? or do people just use the 16v ones? I find they're wound out too far for my liking :/

who sells williams track rods ends - is it a reno only job - roughly how much am i looking at?

also, are the rods themselves a male end? I've got some from ECP that are female end, and far too long!

ECP do sell them, there a FEBI bilstein product, identical to williams ones and fit perfect, both my 16v(widetracked) and williams have these on

Ends depend on which track rods you have on the car, normal 16v ones are fine, i'm running a manual rack and rods, ends have a male end and still got about 10-15mm of thread in the track rod

i had to end up buying new tie and track rods for each side because the track rod snapped off inside the tie rod, both sides, 160 quid from renualt :shock:

cheers

GSF don't sell williams ones :(



Can anyone confirm on the ECP website which ones are for a williams? - There are no ECP stores local to me :(


Reno wanted about £40ea iirc...
