Received the Mondeo ones today.
They look really good quality but are about 12mm shorter.
What looks good is that they have a tight swivel at both ends rather then just one and relying on the rubbers for a flexible joint.
I hope to receive my Monos back from a service before the weekend and so can fit both.
Report to follow.

I haven't received my mondeo links yet, but the threaded bit looks long enough to make a thick washer / spacer to make them the same length as original and if they fit are a better option than the aftermarket stuff at a fraction of the price, all sealed and ball jointed at both ends. It's a no brainer! Glad my spot has interested some! Can you post a pic on here when fitted? Cheers....They look really good quality but are about 12mm shorter.

Here you go, £40 for both. The originals on my 21 year old Griff still seem OK.

I wasn't joking actually. Asked the right way, nicely, for their help, and with the car itself outside, I found they all got down to it and searched until they found something suitable. But that's a random one Ford parts department, and you must deal with loads of main dealers.....ds long gone are proper parts men that would disappear amongst the parts bins to help now they are just keyboard tappers 'computer says NO' try and find yourself a handy after-market car spares who are not under the cosh as much QBee said:

Well, there seems to be more than one good Ford parts dept, the lad at my local dealership is excellent and helpful,I use him for a lot of Ford/TVR parts. Obviously it's helpful and quicker if you know what car the bit comes from plus I get all that luverly employee discount.
