Front Lower Arms

Looking at options. AF have standard OEM, Meyle HD etc there's is also the option of Bearmach, either standard or go RRS?

Thoughts or experience on Bearmach would be appreciated?

Cheers

I stuck the RRS lower fronts on from AF and fitting Bearmach rear uppers I had no problem with them and they're well priced.

I went with the basic ones from AF some time ago but the ball joint failed very early, TBF to Steve he refunded the money on them and they don't stock them anymore but since that experience I've always gone for Lemforder bushed items, the D4 lower arms which have been perfect.

At the risk of asking a stupid question, do Land Rover make their own lower arms and is there a good reason to fit the genuine Discovery parts? Are AF OEM parts actually the same?
