Furthermore, I have proved that they will actually last for at least 19 years so the six years is nonsense. It's based upon marketing considerations and unfounded fear, not engineering principles.

But Andy, and the others who have "thanked" you for your comment, let's not open that can of worms again. The subject has been done to death and will only result in a moderator closing down this thread which is about fitting anti-roll bar links.

Thank you.

Simon
