Also i may aswell change the front & rear top mounts on my car whilst i'm at it, can someone give me a link as to where i can buy febi top shocker mounts for the front and rear. Its a GOLF MK3 GTI.
Thanks :smiley:

Meyle now a days.... I have being hearing of some bad stories of new febi stuff!!
it's not all german as it once was!
-
Have a look at Lemförder - they are best
-
I've had lemforder top mounts before, they not cracking at all tbh. Not sure about the axle bushes though.
Been down to the stealers, Axle Bushes £48 each. Front top shocker mounts around £40 each, But the best bit is, they dont know what make they'll be. Proper Nobs :evil:
I've read some good reviews about Meyle parts, inc bushes.
I think i'm going to buy Meyle Axle bushes and buy top shocker mounts from Tierod69. :smiley:

Tierod69?

well lemforder were/are one of the o.e suppliers (but so are febi and meyle!)
and the dealer wont know the brand as they will be labelled vw on the box (but should be boge units inside but who knows!!) oh and £40 is +vat
oh and tierod is a good place to buy from.... they know what common parts the golf needs and sell them at good prices (just be wary of any cofap parts they sell!!)
-
What the boneman said above, ive very rarely had any issues with Spencers (tierod69) gear.

Well this is news to me, when i asked a month ago, everyone recommended getting Febi as its OE from tierod which is what ive done?
-
Nowt wrong with that fella.

that's the problem...most of febi stuff is very good and o.e, BUT I have started to see lots of ebi stuff with made in china written on it and you can tell the difference in quality (even if febi don't agree!)
then again bosch have done the same for years, when I worked at a main bosch agent you could put a germen bosch plug and a brasil bosch plug together and they were like black and white with the difference
-
Well i can vouch for mine, took mine out for a thrash yesterday with my Jom's on and its smooth as a babys, proper chuffed :cool:

TRW also supply VW. Dealers wanted nearly £180 for track rods and ends, Euro's sell the exact same part for £55 a side. Only difference was VW put a part number sticker on the box.
