FLENG Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 hi all just had a price from fords Quote
seatkid Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Check ford quoted for just the tie rod end and not the full tie rod. I think most pattern ones from a reputable supplier e.g. not ebay! would be almost as good as original. Checkout www.vwspares.co.uk (see under VW sharan) and eurocarparts as well. GSF are usually good and will supply OE parts if you ask for them. You can also phone up SEAT and VW dealers. Last one I got from SEAT dealer was about £23 IIRC (a few years ago) Edited January 20, 2011 by seatkid Quote
FLENG Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 i did ask if it was the ball joint or complete bottom arm it was just the ball joint Quote
sparky Paul Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 I think most pattern ones from a reputable supplier e.g. not ebay! would be almost as good as original. I'm with seatkid on this one, I've always fitted branded factor joints and never had any problems... and you won't go far wrong with GSF. Some of the unbranded stuff on fleabay is total carp, and there are even fake branded parts being sold which are often very poor quality. Quote
