Totally agree with you JB, all the parts I now buy for my Omega are from Eurocar Parts. They give you a choice of cheap or expensive, with the expensive parts being OE ones.
All the markings on the VX wishbone bushes are from Boge with the balljoints being Lemforder. I orginally bought my wishbones from Autovaux who said they were OE ones, same as the expensive Eurocar Parts options. Which I believe when I compared them with the original ones I replaced on my Omega.
I would highly recommend the expensive Eurocar Part versions or Autovaux for your wishbones or other suspension parts. Would never buy eBay versions or especially from VSC on eBay. I bought a steering control arm from VSC on eBay for £30. The rubber seals on the track control arms started breaking down after 1 week of use, never used any cleaning chemicals or anything that would break down the rubber.
After 4 months I’m still waiting for a refund from VSC, keep stalling me saying that their waiting for the suppliers to refund them. They complained that the threads were butchered, even although it was me who fitted and removed them. I guess paint on the threads could be seen as butchered to some. Never again it’s not worth the hassle.
