Steering idler arm is shot on my 2.2, anyone recommend a decent pattern part?
Also need some wishbones, again decent pattern needed, i have only been fitting geniune parts recently, but not sure if its worth £170 a pair for geniunes.
-
out of interest how long/mileage did you get from your genuine wishbones. :question
I've just fitted new wishbones from vaux centre for £58 inc p & p.

the pair delivered next day - not genuine, warranty 12 months. hth
vauxhall quoted me £200 give or take each side >:(

got my pattern wishbones thru TImbuk, via Mark i think. certainly a dealer in Nottingham anyway! around £50 the pair delivered. nice parts although the first set had two the same not one for each side!
and i got HIDs but don't remember sensors being swapped between wishbones!

If you want to fit a part made by the same people as make them for Vx (Lemforder) the cheapest place I have found is Autovaux £117.34 for the pair incl VAT + £7 delivery (next day). Idler was £40 inclusive. Make sure you ask for Lemforder and some say you can get 5% of for OOF membership.
-
FAI ones, you can get them from Vail automotive on E-Bay.
-
Tunnie....try doing a search
There has been loads of wishbone and ilder arm threads recently!

the vail guy is away on holiday at the mo, that's why his stuff's not coming up in the listings.
One of the vendors is selling stuff by a company called firstline - ever heard of them?

I can confirm this as I emailed them for a quote on Lemforder wishbones mentioning the forum.
They replied saying "we don't have a specific agreement with the Omega Owners Forum but we can offer a 5% discount on these prices"
