Had my driveshafts done today at Jason's. Noticed the difference in drive immediately. Also they were in disbelief over the quality of the driveshafts at the price I paid for them. Jason even requested the details as he said he would use them, so shout out to shad for that one. So that's cv gators and joints done, on to the next item on the list next month  8)

Sanj no problem, I'm still trying to decide on the hu but decision will be made soon!

Shad I used the jr ones. Noone could believe the quality and price, especially as they are so heavy,Argos must be minimal with postage price on top! Good call though.

So now I got the arms to do, I was looking at this: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewit ... 4615209937

Its iPhone link but item number is 300813968040

I don't know about these though. Jason told me that the arms should be a quality part as they can throw the tracking off so not sure of its worth the risk...

That's what I fitted - but I bought it from work.  That's a really good price for febi stuff.

I noticed these in your earlier post... May be worth paying extra if the parts are recommended...
