Which Brands Are More Reliable For Control Arms?

[derekod]

I have just been looking at font shocks and bottom control arms on autodoc site, can anyone put these brands into order of reliability as they are all listed for the bottom control arms.

 

Topran

Delphi

Mapco

Vaico

Optimal

ABS

Monroe

Diedrichs

Triscan

Metsger

Kager

TRW

Monroe shocks are ok too.

If you have access to a decent bench vice and some sockets and spacers, it's not difficult (and much cheaper) to change the bushes for OEM parts - I fitted Lemforder parts to mine, the boxes contained all genuine VW bushes.

 

Otherwise, as daddy says, any decent quality brand like Delphi, Motaquip or similar will do the job.
