Default Front suspension lower arm

Hello
With so many different arms listed on the various web sites, I would appreciate some advice on the preferred brand and supplier. Rimmers advertise original Rover items but they are considerably more expensive than some I have seen on Ebay. However, I do not want to sacrifice quality for price.
Thanks

Well when I looked at the "original" arms for sale on Rimmer Bros, they were made in Taiwan, so I bought the cheapest one I could find from the bay of E and fitted that instead.

I did my usual trick of adding extra grease to the balljoints prior to fitting though.

Take your pick really, there doesn't seem to be much difference in quality in most of these parts these days.
