Title: Which Rear Suspension Donut manufacturer do you use...
Post by: Weds on 05 January 2012, 18:32:30
I've recently replaced the rear suspension donuts to my car I bought mine from  http://www.vauxhall-car-parts.co.uk/ and thought they would be the OEM versions as they use the part number 90447156N, but I now found out the 'N' at the end indicates they are not OEM versions.

Whilst the handling of the car is much improved from before it still at times gets caught out with a bit of rear steering from tramlines and ruts, would it help if i got the 'proper' bushes from Vauxhalls. Are they much different ?

Is there anything else thats likely to wear out, I would have a look but the weather has not been kind these last few days.

I think a lot of people have opted for Febi doughnuts over GM parts due to the massive price difference.  :y

Gm... Most expensive
Lemforder as Robs link. Ment to be the same as GM.
Febi. As the guide. Cheapest

I have Febi donuts to see what they are like. Some wandering at the back in side winds, but I have polly fronts which are rock steady. So might be an in balance, or it might be the Febi ones aren't quite as stiff. I find this odd though as I must say wim have finally got the set up absolutely cock on perfect.

Anyway, as Rob says ideally. Although Febi are half the price of the Lemforder.
