Close enough :¬)
Drop links.
I previously fitted Delphi jobs back in July 2019 and I'm a bit hacked off as the offside upper link lasted just 6k. The roads around me are pretty poor and my shared drive is also rubbish but none of my wife's, neighbours or my previous 75s have had any bother so think they were substandard. Looking at the failed joint the grease had completely dried - very odd considering the rubber was fine (I've actually kept the rubber as a spare).

Oh, and in case you're worried, I cut the nut off because the thread had rusted. It hadn't snapped...

This time I've gone for Fahren units - cheaper & shinier - so we'll see how they go.
