Personally, I would go for a good used genuine idler over a cheap new one. I have had a cheap new one fail the MOT due to excessive play, the day it was fitted !

ZF was the original equipment manufacturer for the Omega steering gear. Lemförder is one of ZF's aftermarket brands.

The part number for the ZF bush is Lemförder 11602 03.
