Just out of interest... Why do they custom manufacture the actual steel part then ? I understand the standard disco bushes are not the best hence why people go poly/rrs but I didn't realise the actual steel part needed upgrading. What am I missing ? Lol Jarrod

Geoff is being too kind, I expect they will gain surface rust sooner or later!
3 year warranty might be the attraction
Or the fact we have these made for us and the robot welding is much better than I have seen on any other arm
Or the fact we fit them here with Lemforder Bushes & Ball joints (Or SuperPro bushes) so no nasty surprises expected in the near future years.
I should add though my margin is too tight on these even before I factor in labour time (free) purchase of a 15 tonne press and a bearing/bush/ball joint cup pushing set. So they will be going up in the New Year!Paul Redding

About to pull the trigger on ordering these and get TVLR to fit them and re-align
Are these the 'ones to have' these days?
Thanks

Steve
Looking to buy a set of these but no shipping option for NI. Everything seems to exclude Highlands & Islands. Can you help? No rush - just trying to beat the price rise
