    Correct Williams Wishbones?

    Hi all I did a quick search on this but there was a LOT of results and none of the ones I looked at answered my question.

    I'm looking to buy a pair of Williams lower arms for me car but don't want to get the wrong ones. Although I'm planning to fit them with poly bushes I don't want used ones as theres too much chance of being damaged, even without the owner knowing. I know they are available from Buypartsbuy, Gsf, Euro car parts but are they the correct arms or are they most likely R19 or Valver parts? If so I take it the only way to get the correct arms is to buy from Renault?

    Cheers. Chris

    Yeah, that I don't want and is the reason i'm asking I really want the car setup with the handling a brand new williams would've had. I'm not terribly worried about saving a fortune just want the right arms really and if patern ones are up to the job i'll go for those.

    If it makes a difference my antiroll bar has round ends not flat ones with holes.

    Cheers

    wishbones

    I am interested in this too as I have ordered R19 wishbones.

    genuine renault ones are 70 pounds each. I know a lot of ppl use R19 ones so thats what I am opting for as they are 25 pounds each from buypartsby.

    I assume it does not make that much difference to handling oterwise ppl would not use them...or do the purists disagree?

    I have R19 fronts wishbones fitted and I could not notice any difference so I think its only really for purists as its a fair bit of money saved - i got mine from GSF

    Well, I have R19 ones on mine.

    When I first fitted them I think I did notice a slight difference...having seen the pictures it looks like the R19 gives more positive castor.

    In a minute I am about to dissasemble my AVO's and AST top mounts on the right hand side and increase the ride height a bit. I will use the AST's to dial in negative camber and this time a bunch of castor as well to see the difference.

    I've got the R19 wishbones on my valver too, with the 16's on it you notice the castor alot more imo
