    Car works as Private Hire so travels over many speed bumps daily. If they are crap I don't think they will last 6 months.

    You will have to post back in a few weeks at how badly they are knocking :)

    Hows that for confidence :)

    Only time will tell though. Update the thread if they do fail early.

    Front offside ARB knocking badly after 6000 miles. Replaced with Quinton Hazel drop link and all OK. So you were nearly right forgotmyname.

    I used a cheap eBay drop link; still on the car after 2 years.

    3 months and 6000 miles, not a quality part then.

    Sometimes the only way is to try them and see. I fitted some cheap sub £30 front road springs to a diesel Mondeo and they lasted many years and lots of miles.
