Even if it is true, it would be a waste of £55 inc postage.

Without trying them, I couldn't tell you, but it is well known that non genuine wishbones fail very soon after fitting.
These would probably be a good buy to have nice shiny parts, then press in some decent bushes?????

I'd say they might be worth a punt. Genuine wishbones are silly money IMHO. I've heard of better quality (or at least more expensive!) parts failing early, and cheap ones lasting.
My current set were £50 delivered a pair and have done over 2 years of 18k a year so far. I've heard of Lemforders failing in less time. You pays yer money... ::)

Hmm, I fitted unipart ones 4years ago, they still look new and can find no play in the bushes at all they were cheap!!!,was checking it last week as i have a slight pull to the left (but i suspect the idler arm as its original!!) to be honest but the car was up on the two post lift so couldnt check properly,
so it may be worth trying them?

My correctly fitted Lemforders have lasted 2 years, poly bushes will be fitted shortly!

What about timing belt kits from ebay? There are some cheap ones on there but obviously not something you want to fail, would anyone buy one of these?
