Post by: graeme on April 17, 2013, 12:59:19 pm

Some places do cheaper brands, but is it worth taking the chance?

Nah, I only want to use genuine parts. . . don't trust cheap sh*te !
I also don't see the point in doing one of the rears and not the other. i would be better off doing the two of them but will be about £250 for both!

They're £45 on ebay with free postage

I doubt very much your wheel will fall off.. or you will notice the slightest bit of difference over the genuine part
