R4 Mk1 R5 Compatability

[markhooper]

Hi, I`m rebuilding a 1983 R4 front end and am in need of upper and lower wishbones,drive shafts,and torsion bars etc.Could anyone tell me if if these components from a 1983 R5 TL are compatable please as one is available,or can they still be purchased new through Renault.Thanks. Mark.

The only compatible parts are the upper wishbones, drive shafts, track rod ends and shock absorbers.

funny just looking for some newer renault bits and found second hand top wishbones earlier today wondering if they were 4 0r 5 comparison reminded me that the bushes are longer where the bolt goes through so think if they came less bushes they would interchange if you fitted R4 bushes

then again export and van ones are stronger oh and gordini ones are stronger too
