Well got parts from local store for my car which included ball joints, they gave me the bolt on ball joints, turns out my car still has original bottom arms which it is all built in. Where's best place to get a complete bottom arm from? The auto factors and there 19 suppliers don't supply one :/

The aluminium wishbones are unique to the 133 and Wind models. And the balljoint is unique to this wishbone.
You have a choice of getting a new bone from Renault or, contacting Deano (Bozza) who is a parts dealer who has bought a batch of balljoints direct from OCAP who manufacture the arms. Its a long thread with tales of woe but the last few pages show Deanos balljoint

It would fit onto thd subframe, however your then stuck with needing a balljoint with a taper to go onto the bottom of the hub assembly.Jay_W":2uulxr3t said:

the overall track width is wider, even with wheels that have a higher offset.Spitfire1":2gsd4so5 said:
Where the increase comes about, I'm not sure, as I've not measured anything.
It could be the wishbone/balljoint or the hub assembly but that all became a bit irelevent with a lack of readily available bits to swap to a bolted lower balljoint
