Mk1 front drop links

[just_jon]

Anyone have a link to a pair they've purchased recently and were decent quality?  I'm wary of buying ones that look knackered before you even fit them, as I have experienced previously.

I changed those when I bought my Auris. I bought Blueprint ones. The rubber boot teared only a year and a half after installation.

Changed them again in April to Lemforder ones. Seem better quality and tougher.

Blueprint some parts are as good as oem, some are not. I have in stock blueprint bushes and Firstline bar links for the front, I haven’t installed them yet as the oem ones are still in good shape.  Likely soon I may need to replace as the car is passing 214k miles. Meile, lemforder, are only names and not the best quality too. If you want the Best Buy original Toyota ones from a dealer.

Incorrect fitting is why they don't last or worn arb bushes

 

Lemforder is the ZF groups lower end brand https://aftermarket.zf.com/en/aftermarket-portal/

I agree. But Toyota ones are 50 euros a piece where I live. The Lemforders are 20 euros each... I'll see how long the Lemforders last... Not too happy with the Blueprints so far... Not discarding their bad installation...
