I bought MOOG ones their p/n VOAX-0358 They are actually for a VW Sharan. The last pair I bought came from Poland and they lasted 2 years !.

Looking at them, I need to hacksaw circa 3mm off the threaded part ( that screws into the rack ). Other than that, they are nigh on identical.

I beleive ( you'll need to check ) others are:

QH GR3266
Unipart GSJ1310
Delphi TA1673
First Line FTR4742

These are all VW Sharan or Ford Galaxay and ought to require the small mod i mentioned.

I think DMGRS has the correct ones in stock, that do not need any modification - the threads are the correct length. To get the old ones off you will need either a very large spanner (32 or 36 mm, something like that), or a Stillson-type pipe wrench - they are loctited in place so may take a bit of shifting. You can get special 'knuckle' joint separator tools for about 25-30 pounds that make the job a lot easier.

As below, got them from Mat, but plenty about. I used a stilson wrench and then a pipe wrench to speed the job up. Actually a quick and easy job.

I changed both inner and outer at the same time. Screwed both inner and outer off the car reassembled on the bench (not forgetting the boot) and screwed them back onto the car.

Wheels and under-tray off, it went quite well.

Only ended up with 4mm toe-out.
