Planning ahead as earlier this week when car was on a friends tamp, we saw the front Bush on both arms has a lot of play, drivers side more than passengers side.
Arms were replaced October 2013 by DM, new genuine RRS arms and bolts fitted.
The originals had covered 117k, these ones have done 65k...
Given they haven’t lasted as long, I’m swaying to go back to genuine D3 arms next time.
What’s other people’s thoughts on them?
I do have to laugh that I’ve owned the car long enough for suspension work I’ve had done, to need redone again..

Going by what I have read 65k is very good, 117k is simply amazing

Really?
I’m rather annoyed at only getting that from a set, admittedly I won’t be getting them changed for a bit.
Need new Duratracs first.
Thinking genuine D3 arms. Seem good?

Can I possibly claim a record. My rear arms have date stickers on them with 2006 which is the year mine was registered. Car has now done 154,000 miles and the bushes look ok. 2006 TdV6 HSE.

It’s not been a lot of hard miles...
It’s had a graceful rest from that over the last 18 months or so.

Could the arms have been tighten up at wrong height?
Plenty of driving in extended height, will definitely shorten their lifespan.

I’ll ask the guy who did them...
Disco Mikey!
Did you fit my arms properly?
