I’ve recently had the wheel alignment done on my car, the garage have noted that “rear suspension lower arms require replacement of bushes and adjusting bolts” can someone point me in the right direction of what I need to be buying. :thinking:
Thanks.

Brilliant mate thanks, I’m guessing I’ll need two.

Ok thanks for your help, that’s them ordered. :happy2:

Parts still haven’t arrived which is understandable right now, the garage can get me the parts tomorrow the parts he’s ordered are Delphi, question is does anyone have any thoughts on these parts are they better than what I’ve ordered from euro car parts?
-
Were they not in stock at ECP? Says 2 days to order them from my local branch.

Not sure mate, ordered on Thursday morning and they’ve still not been dispatched when I log onto my account on ECP.
You got any experience of Delphi parts??
-
No I haven't sorry

Guy in the garage recommend them rather than using the ones from ECP he’s giving me them at cost price, they’re slightly more expensive as the ones from ECP but I don’t mind if they’re better quality.

I ordered a cabin filter from ECP and it took over two weeks to arrive and then only after I complained. I think they are slow getting stuff out at the moment.

Just for comparison I ordered some ball joint a week or so ago at about 11am after being turned away from the shop as I am not a key worker. They came about 4 hours later.

Delfi are OK, but not as good as Lemforder parts on ECP - sometimes they come with VAG part numbers on, other times the numbers have been ground off. At least you are back on the road.

Are you saying they delivered to your home from the store?
-

Had to replace both of these last year. Replaced all the bushes (powerflex)and all bolts. Had to cut the bolts as they were solid Take a pic of the inner bolt position beforehand as these are marked for alignment :happy2: The alignment marks can be seen from the rear before you start cutting :happy2:
