silversmith Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I've been advised that my car needs new control arms on the front. MK2 2.0 tdci focus. I was looking at getting lemforder ones as opposed to the ford original parts. What is the difference between them. I've seen some other manufacturercontrol arms listed for as low as £30.00 - where as fords are around £140.00 each. Do ford manufacture these parts themselves? Do you have any recemondations any one.

stef123 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 There are some cheap nasty replacements out there, lemforder are generally a good brand. They are an oem brand too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Had mine done they weren't £140 each more like 140 the pair as stef said there are some nasty ones out there that are a false economy lemforder are a good brand they supply land rover suspension parts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christianiani Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It always amazes me how many people go to Ford or any Main Dealer to get a 'Genuine' Ford part. Ford don't make parts!! They buy them in from outside manufacturers who supply them and the Motor Factors. Often in exactly the same box, just with a Ford sticker/part number put on it!! The only difference is the higher cost. As long as you go for bonfide manufacturers you normally are fine...and save money as well!! Hope this helps!
