Lemforder £121 each
Delphi £78 each
Febi £98 each

ECP have Q drive and GSF Vetech but I've ruled these out.

I'll be doing the work myself. I know the sensible money will say Lemforder but I'm tempted by Delphi, the £80 saving will pay for a wheel alignment.

(new arms seem a lot less hassle than pressing in new bushes and ball joints)

Have used Febi before now without any issues on quality/longevity.

Not much difference in quality between Febi and Lemforder as they are both O.E. quality Delphi a step down. If it was my car it would be Febi.

I've used other Febi parts in the past so looks like Febi this time round.

I can't actually feel any play in the ball joints and bushes, no clunks, groans or squeaks. But I just feel after 20yrs 110k miles it's probably due.
