Title: Steering idler knackered - which one do I get?
Post by: Martin_1962 on 29 September 2011, 09:01:15

I know there are some good ones and some bad ones, mine was 3 years old and has recently failed.

So what can be recommended please?

I needed one a few weeks ago, so went to VXpartswarehouse for a Lemforder. They are having trouble getting them so sold me an alternative. The alternative was so crap I was given an MOT advisory the day after I fitted it. To their credit, they gave me a full refund and withdrew the ebay listing when I told tham about it.

Thank's Jimbob, even helped me  :y
Price for lemforder wisbone in Norway 255£
Price for lemforder at allgerman    65,36 £

Idler arm lem. in Norway 120£
Idler arm lem at allgerman  45,60£

Why do you complain about the prices in uk? The prices i came up with, are one of the cheapest web sites for carparts in Norway..... And they are cheaper than GM in Norway.

Newer, ever going to order more parts from Norway, unless i realy need to.
Thaks again Jimbob  :y :y :y :y
