No idea what they are like .. but the whole package is incredibly cheap ... and experience seems to show you get what you pay for ...cheap wishbones from other sources last minutes .. even reasonably priced Lemforders only last 2 years ... expensive VX seem to last 6-7 years. I'm guessing the same "rules" would apply to trackrod ends and drop links ....  :(

I would like to be wrong ... but I'm not convinced ..... and I won't be trying them .. :(

Bit like tyres, IMO, fit the best you can afford.

Thought also occurs, although they are suspsciously cheap, the manufacturers are at least prepared to put their name to them. Which is more than most cheapo wishbone makers are prepared to do.

Fitting these, i'd say you'd be the oof guinea pig. They are quite commonly advertised on German eBay.

I wouldn't fit them my self, but no suprises there. ;D

The wishbones should be ok so long as you replace the front bushes with poly ones and the rear with ones from Vauxhall so another £70 to add on top of the price ;)

Discussed last May:

I thought I remembered them ::) 13k isn't bad from cheap wishbones ;) In fact, MDTM only managed that from a set of Lemforders :o

I think I'd just Poly them straight away and be done with it though ;)
