It would appear so - I know the dealer had a hell of a job trying to find the right ones for my MV6....

It was a while ago, and I paid retail prices. Was about £300 for both wishbones and both front shocks, and other associated bits.

As said, that was retail price, and the wishbones accounted for at least half of that.  Much cheaper on TC if they are a TC item...

according to the TC website the retail price is £71 each, trade club price £44.60 each.  The TC website differentiates between the 2.0/2.2 and larger engines as well as 'lowered sports suspension'  (i.e. 4 types)
Same prices for all

On pre-facelift MV6's its important not to use oridinary shocks as its the shocks that do the 30mm lowering.......fit ordinary ones and you will be driving around with your nose in the air!
