I need to replace mine too - the current Wishbones/Bushes were purchased from DMGRS and need replaced after 2 years - about 2.5 years to date but the o/s BallJoint has been knocking for a while - BallJoint and Rear Bush are Goosed.


My Car is not in daily use at the moment - (when i'm able) I hope to fit better quality parts this time round ......



Paul.

I am currently looking at these ones, £92.90 for the pair with a 2 year warranty.

If most of them only last 2 years what's the point in paying expensive for them?

TRW were the original manfacturers, I fitted a pair of these to the wife's car last year, also from Autodoc in Germany, and they're spot on.

Under no circumstances would I pay Rimmer prices for "original equipment" Made in PRC, and well you have the road test from Paul as to the other ones

A good quality arm and delivery was fairly quick also, add some extra grease into the drop links the last set i had which where the cheapest you could get from ebay lasted 12 months, I have done the same again bought the cheapest from eBay and packed them full with grease will see how long I get out of these ones.

By any chance do you have a duff N/S arm hanging around? I want one to do some fiddling on a little project. Happy to pay P&C
Ooops it's the O/S arm I'm after (with the little recess for the Xenon sensor arm clip)
