Whilst it's off clean it up and give it a little paint and rust treatment. Or get a spare and refurbish prior to doing the job. I did mine over a week , 5 hour days. But I was undersealing and cleaning all below too. Sent from my SM-A600FN using Tapatalk

Are there any updates on good quality rear arms as I would like to keep my Mk 1 V6 as long as I can and despite my annual rustproofing inside and out with red oxide and Dynax S50, I suppose that tinworm will get there eventually?I will soon be too old to be crawling under the car. Her indoors says that I already am!!!

Bought a pair in the last few weeks, hologramed as genuine MGR and were made in India, so it seems not.
Mind you, the trusted garage that fitted them, didn't raise any concerns about the fit or fitting of them. As for quality, time will tell.

I've now bought a pair of original lightly used arms from a seller in Portugal. They are pristine, inside and out, (checked with my endoscope camera) so have given them extra coats of hammerite externally and Dynax S50 internally, prior to fitment. They appear to have never seen road salt or rain! No Delhi jelly welds for my car!

Indian Arms
The Indian arms are certainly coming down in price I wonder why.
Note the specification ( Item specifics ) in the listings below, especially the part where it states Country/Region of Manufacture: ( United Kingdom ) When it can be clearly seen on the wrapping ( made in India ). I think the reason for the price drop is because the seller of the Indian xpart arms can not get rid of them due to the problems. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-M...0AAOSwRDVeE09I https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-M...oAAOSwUEheE04A I wonder how closer we are to seeing the supposed newer upgraded arm are going to come on the open market.

The supplier has been made very aware of the previous quality issues via other suppliers, and knows we're expecting something every bit as good as the original part.

I fitted at the time the only parts available to me couple of years back, so it's safe to say they are the Indian ones.
There was a lot of flaking paint inside the new parts, so I treated them prior to them being fitted, and they seem to be holding out ok so far. I live within spitting distance of the North Sea, and the associated salty air, so the corrosion resistance needs to be fairly robust. |
