Steering idler arm is shot on my 2.2, anyone recommend a decent pattern part?

Also need some wishbones, again decent pattern needed, i have only been fitting geniune parts recently, but not sure if its worth £170 a pair for geniunes.

out of interest how long/mileage did you get from your genuine wishbones. :question

I've just fitted new wishbones from vaux centre for £58 inc p & p.

the pair delivered next day - not genuine, warranty 12 months.  hth

vauxhall quoted me £200 give or take each side

got my pattern wishbones thru TImbuk, via Mark i think. certainly a dealer in Nottingham anyway! around £50 the pair delivered. nice parts although the first set had two the same not one for each side!

and i got HIDs but don't remember sensors being swapped between wishbones!

good price if dealer 8-)

check ns wishbone on top, you should see a lever sticking upright attached to the wishbone. hth

Thanks, might be time to place an order!

If you want to fit a part made by the same people as make them for Vx (Lemforder) the cheapest place I have found is Autovaux £117.34 for the pair incl VAT + £7 delivery (next day). Idler was £40 inclusive. Make sure you ask for Lemforder and some say you can get 5% of for OOF membership.

FAI ones, you can get them from Vail automotive on E-Bay.
