I'm in need of a new set as it still knocks over bumps, even after changing the front wishbone bushes.
When looking yesterday I noticed water coming out of the top gaiter.

I've seen so much on the forum about aftermarket, cheaper and branded links not lasting I'm not sure about to which to get, so any opinions which is the best bet?

Rimmers https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-RBM100241 £33 genuine Rover,
or after market https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-RBM100241P £15? I believe these are 12 months warranty.

Or DMGRS

https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/...inks-rbm100240 £28.50 OEM MG rover,
or cheaper version https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/...inks-rbm100240 at £17.50
Both have a 2 year warranty, with matt's no quibble replacement?

Also the 4 year warranty £37 Longbridge links, but with the crankshaft pulley to do, I've got to check the budget a bit.

Also seen https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOR-ROVER...D/161920119047 with a 4 year warranty although again a bit dearer at £33?

Anybody with experience of any of these. I'm thinking DMGRS cheaper version as they have a 2 year warranty same as the dearer ones.
