Considering the hassle in changing them and they last 4 years, they really dont work out more expensive than the cheapo ones
sortof depends though doesn't it...
The cheapo ones fail fairly catastrophically; I've seen several where the metal has snapped.... if you factor in the potetial cost of replacing your car and the wall/hedge/ditch you've found yourself half-in, it makes a decent brand of wishbone a far more attractive alternative...
Totally agree Ed,
Ive had cheapo P bushes aince day 1 and owned 3 of these had one snap going round a bend hit a lowered manhole cover and send me spinning luckily on a wide road, had 3 more snap in past and then the weld popped on this wishbone but did hit a major pothole.
The wishbone isnt really muchof a prob as can re-inforce the welds if needed, but a good set of Pbushes and front bushes and ball joint can make a huge difference cheap ones dont quite cut it in performance either as very sloppin on handling too
