Which after market suppliers.
« on: 11 May 2012, 19:55:07 »
I've got a couple of advisories from a recent MOTon my 3.2,these being slight play on the steering idler and front wishbone bushes,and I was wondering wether any members could recommend a decent after market supplier for these items as the budget wont stretch to genuine VX parts at the moment :y

I would certainly agree with you're comments,it was just a thought as I find my local VX dealer expensive accompanied with a could'nt give toss attitude and they do'nt keep Omega parts in stock,they've always got to order the items in. >:( I've found a Lemforder steering idler on flea bay for £45 which I think I'll go for and the bushes I'll take a punt on flea bay also if no further advice is offered :y

there is very good advice on here...we take it,or we leave it ,yes there is the auction sites stuff and i must admit it seems the cheaper way to sort out the prob..but it dont happen............its short time junk. be grateful for the expert/longtime advice you have been given
if they tell you go vx then...go there...if they tell you go pattern.. look and compare but listen to the advice you have been given..

If you fit that one you may as well fit one of these


I fitted one from a cheapo ebay supplier.It failed the MOT due to excessive play............THE NEXT DAY !!!! Lemforder or Vx for this part. ;)
