OEM lower arms, drop links, both track rods band new £69 the lot!
« on: 15 October 2016, 14:37:51 »
i'll be surprised if this isn't of interest....
2x lower arms with bushes and ball joints
2x complete track rods inner and outers
2x drop links
all brand new OEM quality ATP from Germany ebay item 381141643466
£69 delivered for the lot! got my box of goodies in 3 days via dpd
as we're all aware you'll struggle to buy one good quality lower arm for that.
and the bushings look of very good quality
well pleased!    :D

That is the forum recommended budget ATP kit - can be had from eBay or direct from ATP.

Fitted to 2 of my cars and works perfectly.

ATP ain't OEM, nor OE quality.

I don't rate it, but it may get people out of a short term hole

Even if they only last a year, they allow previous set to be refurbished ready ;)

I use them  . . .but only do low mileage in any omega I have

Usually pay just short of £100 for the set  . . .now £69   . . .so if it's the same stuff it must be worth that money. General thought is around 20k miles out of a set of those bones I think  :-\

Whats this about  "China"   ?   ;D ;D   what are these now then "sweet & sour wishbones" ;D ;D ;D

But OE  they certainly ain't  ::) ::)

I had a set of ATP wishbones and I fitted front polybushes, but discovered that the welds on the rear bush carrier were starting to crack after a while.  :-\

I don't think they're strong enough to cope with the extra stress at the rear bush that front polybushes deal out, but maybe mine were a 'Friday' set.  ::)  I would fit them again but wouldn't modify them.  ;)

Haha!  :y

I'm slowly stocking up on track rods (well, I have three  ::)) and I think it's been said, do the droplinks as an annual service item, the sillycheap sum of a fiver that they cost.  :)
