Meyle used to claim they were German engineered and made but they were using a loophole to claim the parts were German.

Hi Pete - Thanks for the reply. Good to know - I don't need all the parts in the Meyle Kit so it would be a waste of money for now... Gavin

Do you need both arms?

In the arm without a ball joint, I replaced the bush with a Lemforder bush that came from Island 4x4 which was around 13 quid from memory.

Thanks David - I'm going to try for Lemforder parts but Febi may meet my requirements.

So... after a few hours of searching and after taking pointers/advice from the good people on here, I've gone for Febi Bilstein parts from AutoDoc. Ordered just what I need for £245 delivered which I thought was very good for known, German made parts. Some people have had issues with AutoDoc but they have been fine for me in the past - I don't mind waiting a week or so for them as I don't need them yesterday.

I too have had no issues with AutoDoc in the past. I find the key is to check the manufacturer catalogues to make sure you're ordering the correct parts for the vehicle (and therefore, also only entertain manufacturers with good parts catalogues).

Do not use Meyle - total junk. I tried on and off with this brand for 15 years and they never fail to fail in an absurdly short amount of time. Meyle or Meyle HD - not sure there’s a difference but they’re similarly junk. I have tried them on Volvo, BMW and Land Rover - whatever money I saved, I am spending more in time doing it twice.

I have just had to replace the track control arm that was only replaced last year before I purchased the car and less than 2000 miles and that was meyle so I have replaced it with a febi Bilstein |

I have a bad creaking sound when turning the wheel at low speeds which I 'think' maybe the inner lower bushes on new arms fitted last year. Taking it back to the garage that fitted them so they can sort it out. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |
