| Lower front suspension arm - the joys |
|
I can’t put the job off any longer. I need to change the lower suspension arms on the front of my Disco 4.
Having looked through eBay and a few suppliers there seems to be a big variation in cost and not a lot of info about where they’ve come from (apart from those with Genuine LR stickers on)
Can anyone who has done this job let me know which supplier they used. I don’t particularly want to put a substandard part on, neither do I want to pay through the nose for genuine parts if I don’t need to
Cheers
Dave

I haven’t used this brand before but when mine go I will be trying these. Sure someone else will be able to comment on them
I did use a company on eBay for genuine ones on my last D3 but they were about £180 each side

Had a look at their website. Nice to see LR stuff rather than a generic motor factors.
Is it worth going for the HD parts, and never heard of optimil?
And yes, is there forum discount you say?

I've just had Advanced Factors lower suspension arms fitted on my Disco 3 today. I went for the Optimal ones, primarily because the AF Site stated that the HD were for coil springs only?
Anyways, after looking online AF seemed the best, especially with the discount.
Got an MOT booked for tomorrow. 2008 D3 HSE Stornoway Grey (UK)
2008 D3 HSE Izmir Blue- South African Spec. (Zimbabwe)
2005 FFRR SC V8- Java Black
1995 D1 300 Tdi Blue - (Sourced from the UK, shipped to Namibia, driven by me to RD Congo, then Zambia, now retired in Zimbabwe)
