Whilst doing some pre-MOT checks on Fri I found that my rear ARB drop links are totally shot. Bottom balljoint rubbers on both are completely torn.
Why am I humpty about this? Because they replaced for the MOT last year and have only done about 3000 miles! So my first reaction was, that's bloody crap, I wonder if I should contact the supplier and complain. Then I hunted out the receipt. and that's when I realised I'd bought they from Buypartsby.com and they were only £8 each So there you go, if you pay peanuts you get monkeys (or something to that effect).
For the record, I usually find Buypartsby quite good and not all their parts are cheap keck from the land of the rising sun. But in future, when it comes to anything involving bushings or balljoints I'll have to think twice about cheap stuff.
P.S. Yes, I know that I've just stated the bleeding obvious. Some may even feel this topic was a waste of internet. Blow me
