Hi all,

 

I need to buy the following

 

2 x Upper Control Arms, 2 x Lower Control Arms, 2 x Trailing Arms, 2 Track
Rods, 2 Outer Control Arm Mounts (to fit into Hub Housing)
Bolt Kits x 8 to suit the above
Rear Anti Roll Bar Links

 

Any pointers on where to purchase that won't break the bank.

 

Many thanks

Inza

Take a look at www.skoda-parts.com.  Their pricing is usually pretty good so even allowing for delivery and VAT they may be competitive.

Are they not based in EU?

Yes, they're in Czech but are still an excellent possibility.

For UK based you could try

not every thing is listed on the website but if you call them they can get most parts. Usually buy my oil and filters from them as they are cheaper than ebay. 

Hi, I've used them in the past and had a quote for the parts I need but still quite expensive.

 

What does everyone mak eon these? If I understand there should be no customs charges on this.

Appreciate this

I gave them a shout but no stock at the moment.

That seems frighteningly cheap. Personally I’d prefer to use quality components for suspension as it is a critical safety item. 

dont use the cheap stuff from ebay, they won't last very long, the bushes will tear after a few months, you can get from carparts4less, optimal, lemforder, trw, these are good quality,

 

have you considered getting the bushes changed, i priced up for mine few weeks ago and it was alot cheaper than buying the arms, wishbones etc (around £400), the full bush kit (front and rear) from lemforder was

i think around £170 inc inner and outer track rods, lower balljoint and drop links and all bolts/nuts.

Hi,

 

Where did you get yours from?

I've seen this kit that looks OK.

Just saw that you purchased from carparts4less.

 

Thanks

dont get from ebay, i used the cheap stuff from ebay a few years ago on a 1m LC and within 4 months all bushes were torn or completely come away from housing, i ended up using lemforder parts, that car still feels like new with over 200k, 

 

I orderd full front and rear lemforder bush kit and few other bits from auto doc around £200 just waiting on shocks and springs to arrive

 

get from Autodoc as they'll have everything you'll need, it'll cost you around £300 you may need other nuts/bolts but gives you an estimate

there's a few good brands on autodoc you can use to bring costs down,
