    Track rod ends

    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
