Bottom arms - meyle or genuine
Hi all
So my bottom arms are going 60k mileage. Do I go upgraded advance factor meyle 630. Upgraded but no change to comfort or just get genuine again (have lasted 60k) and I will be selling long before then.
Always worried about after market stuff.
Was thinking of having anti roll bush and link bar changed whilst it's stripped should I do anything else. Brakes and pads done 5k miles ago. Do track rods ever go or should I ignore.
Nobody really talks about front top is this nothing to worry about?
Then off for a full alignment.
Thank you in advance

I've used Meyle stuff on a VW passat (also prone to bushes wearing).
I bought an HD kit for the Passat. It was rubbish. I complained to Meyle Uk, and they replaced the whole kit, but this one has failed early too.
I've seen the Meyle stuff on AF, but I wont be buying it. Genuine would be my recommendation.Richard

Initially there was a replacement but he moved on and I think the link went cold.
