Twas a fail for me  :'(

rear sidelight....was working when I left home!

Front tyre - inside scrubbed  >:(

advisories of

wishbone bush slight play - same side as the tyre above  >:(  1 year old lemorders (10,000 miles)!

Exhaust 'past its best'  ;D

Front brake imbalance.


So not a bad outcome really, tyre and bush are annoying, tyres only had about 3 months left to live anyway as it happens.

Not really too bad at all then ;) ;)

I'm definitely leaning more and more that the Lemforders are not worth the money :-/ My eBay Cheapies lasted at least that long before the play started ;)

I think that polybushes are definitely the way to go... Just need to test drive a car with them fitted to see how they ride first though

except it would appear, the 21/4w fog / tail lamp.

How many times have I said now that spending 100+ on Lemforders or other 'premium' wishbones is not worth it......(mutter, grumble, snarle)

I've said it all along ;) Personally I've never really seen the benefit as I change them myself.

But that's now 2 sets (that have been publicly mentioned) that have managed less time/mileage than the cheap eBay ones I've been fitting for 3 years :o :o
