Suspension and ball joint brand, any preference?

Who's making the best kit these days?

I got a BorgBeck arm ball joint (BBJ5314) but had to send it back because the shoulder hadn't been machine splined so it didn't fit.

Ended up getting a whole arm, MOOG brand, from a local factor. MOOG is a Yankee brand and the arm looks decent but it seem MOOG are made in a variety of 20 countries. Makes you wonder.

Quinton Hazell if I can get it for me!
Scandinavian spring wise, Lefjordors or something seem good too.

Lesjofors! Bargain prices but last well - if there's such a thing.

I was told a few years ago by a local motor factor that Quinton Hazell had gone bust but since you've mentioned them, I've looked and they're now under the Tetrosyl banner.

I guess the best gear should be available from the main dealers.....if you can stand the price shock

After all, when the car is new it has a 3 year warranty on those bits.

I'd be happy with any of those brands. Also TRW or Delphi. Febi Bilstein stuff seems to hod up OK too.
