    An ominous chatter from the front end and at about 30000 since the last drop links were replaced and here we go again, I don't know what was fitted but it came from local motor factors but cheap and cheesy chinese stuff sells for around £12and upwards for the pair. Today the local VW dealer relieved my wallet of almost £40 for one, at least it will last two to three times the mileage before it gives in to the relentless battering from our roads.

    VW ones are likely to be TRW (the rear ones are) and substantially stronger / thicker than the cheaper tat out there HOWEVER you can get the TRW ones from Mister-Auto for...£10.46 each plus a small delivery charge or free delivery if you spend £39 or more.

    Usually but everything is subject to being counterfeited these days or relieved of a few more millimetres of material in pursuit of profit. Can't go wrong with TRW as they still make solid standard but seemingly heavier duty suspension parts.
