Gonna be sorting out the front end on the williams this week and just wanna make sure i'm ordering the right bits.

After a quick serch i have found that I can use R19 16v wishbones!

Wishbones R19 16v from www.buypartsby.com £16.16 QSA1004S & QSA1009S

Do the above come with new bushes and ball joints?

Also will I need to get Williams or R19 16v track rods & rod ends?

Last one, are all top mount bearings and doughnuts the same or model specific?

yes they come with new bushes and balljoints, the balljoints will need a final nip up though, they are supplied loose on the arm.

Williams TRE's

top mount bearings etc are the same on all models

R19 16v wishbones can be used but will give a different castor to standard Williams wishbones iirc

as above, the castor will push the wheels further forward in the arch with the r19 wishbones so it may look a little weird, look at justin's for sale thread to see what i mean, he has r19 items

I thought the the williams TRE's were different?

nope, its the inner track rods that are longer on a williams rack iirc, the rod ends are identical (well you get male and female versions depending on inner rods)

Ah that is what I was getting mixed up about I did not know that some were male TRE and some female!
