Can't say I've used them but after using GM and some cheapies from ebay over the years, I've now settled on using Meyle HD ones from All German Parts. They seem to be of a much more robust construction than the GM ones.

Got the ATP ones - admittedly not fitted, so can't speak from personal experience. However, heard much good about ATP with their wishbones and track rod end / droplink sets, that's why I bought them. All German Parts good too, if not better, if you can fathom the website   :)

Anything Delphi manufacturer that has rubber attached to it is rubbish... Well they where a couple of years ago... Drop links by them had to be changed after 8 months as the rubber disintegrated to nothing.

My first, and only, set of Delphi wishbones didn't last 1000 miles... a Catera owner in the States had the same issue with them, which his supplier investigated... net result was a global batch recall :o

That doesn't mean the ones they supply GM are the same as the ones they sell to aftermarket. In fact it's likely they are not allowed to ;)
