Hi folks

You not thought about Audi ones? They weren't that expensive when I got them.

Lemforger are oem so there should be zero difference with Audi, except for the price difference of course. When I bought my set from Lemforger, you could clearly see all Audi logos and ref numbers have been purposely removed with a metal grinder (is that the right term? Well you've got the idea).

The strut doesn’t rotate like a conventional car with the steering so there’s no bearing arrangement it’s literally a wedge of rubber.

I would imagine there won’t be much difference between any reputable brand in such a case.

Febi ones on eBay are £13 each
So big difference in price
