They don't supply AGP.. ;D ;D ;D Lemfoerder do.
Thanks for that, as that clearly rules out the fake Lemforder theory then :y

But does mean Lemforder quality has dropped over the past 3 or 4 years :(

It's a pity there isn't a Meyle HD version as the Meyle HD droplinks are far superior (in quality and longetivity) to any other droplinks I've fitted, GM included.

Interesting for sure. We do occasionally see some early VW ball joints made in China and had a Touareg control arm come Made in Taiwan but still saw no failures. Good to get some feedback though.

Which is exactly why I just bunged a cheap one on when I needed one in a hurry... With the MOT approaching rapidly I needed it to pass. I can change it again in the warmer weather.  :y

Eurocrapparts seem to be supplying everyone else... And would explain why nothing is ever in stock...
Ah, well, if they supply AGP, that might explain the poor product life of my last one :(

They don't supply AGP.. ;D ;D ;D Lemfoerder do. We can also supply this bush. If you can wait a couple of weeks- they are out of stock in the UK presently. You'll need to find the item as follows:

www.allgermanparts.co.uk >
Choose make (presently need to choose ) Opel >
Choose model = Omega B >
Choose sub model eg. 2.2 DTI 16V >
Choose category = Axle mounting, steering and wheels >
Choose sub category = Steering >
Choose 'control arm' (?) and this will show the idler bush in Lemforder.

As I mention these are a couple of weeks delivery from order.

Have a look on the site. It's been relaunched and only Lemfoerder and Meyle on at the moment but with many more coming over the next few days. Price match on genuine UK sites if they're cheaper.

Site looks good, but can't see the part referenced following the above flow.

Unfortunately, this part is under reconstruction.
The metal sleeve inside was glued to polyurethane mass of the outer ring and
does not rotate as it should.
Now we are doing different, new, improved design.

I currently have no need for Omega bits... that said, I was more than happy with my adapted Sierra bushes right up to the point when the wishbone snapped ::)
