anyone else fitted r19 wishbones with widetrack and had any problems?
heres minegot widetrack fitted at hillpower last june and i supplied a set of r19 wishbones from gsf, everything was fine for 4 months then started to hear this knocking sound from the front suspension :( could'nt work out what it was for another few months, then found out it was the bottom balljoints that were shagged. changed the wishbones for another set of r19 ones and 2 months later balljoints have gone again.
ive had a look on dialogys and r19 and williams wishbones have 2 different part numbers, so looks like im gonna have to bit the bullet and pay renaults crazy price
rant over.

Hi Jay!! Havent spoken to you for ages! Hows it going??
Did you use R19 wishbones for both sides??
As far as I was aware, you can only replace the williams wishbones with R19 ones on the passenger side. Im almost certain you have to use a willy one for the driverside. If thats of any help...

Why not just get a pair of balljoints from reno?
The copy ones from gsf are probably not up to the job.
