    Handling Renewal

    After some (much appreciated ) words of wisdom, I've ordered the following from Renault...

    Shocks (front and rear)
    Wishbones (including ball joints)
    Top mount kits
    Track rods
    Wheel bearings (front)
    Anti-roll bar bushes (centre and end)

    That lot came to £425, plus some springs I picked up for £40, so it had better be worth the improvements over my sloppy used stuff! Can't wait for Donington

    Next on the list is an uprated dog bone and the other two engine mounts...when my bank balance has recovered

    New shocks.

    Apart from that, there's the bearings (that I'll be doing when they start making noises!). Anything else I can do?

    How many are there?! I was thinking about the hub bearings that comes with the discs.

    Don't know the workings of the torsion bar beam, are there any in there? Sounds expensive if there is

    He he. Took my old Williams for a drive yesterday and realised how much better it feels to my new one, handling wise, so thought I could do with sorting it out before the track day.

    I don't think there are y'know. Common thing to fail on PSA and VAG cars but it seems that it doesn't occur on these. Maybe it's a different setup. Dialogys doesn't list anything.

    Cool, that's a result then. If there's anything else that anyone knows of at the rear, let us know

    Zollo, what number williams have you bought?

    And why have you bought another a new williams, as I thought your old one was nice enough?

    Good effort on the susp though!
