Don't these look good?

 

Anyone have any experiences with them?

Been discussed quite often on here. MokeSpider I believe has fitted a few sets. Seem better than others that try the same idea.

Looks like £43 each! is that right?

Spendy, but the idea of not ever having to re-shim them is appealing. I know a number of people who have fit them with no issues.

Yip 43 each. Which is expensive in mini terms, but as far as car parts in general not too bad i say.

Makes a nice to change to have the option of choosing a quality product rather than complaining about poor quality items. As above, for other marques folk wouldn't bat an eyelid at spending that.

I'm paying around 1/2 that, but, even so, respectfully, I find the common offerings so bitterly disappointing, that to me, they almost don't exist anymore. On our Big Wheel Mokes, we were replacing the uppers at every Oil Change and the lowers around every second oil change.

 

Prior to finding these, I was infact designing and had prototyped a complete new hub that took the Metro Joints. It also has a better wheel bearing assembly. I will likely still go ahead with these, but with now we have decent ball joints, we can go on for a while yet.

I think that if these are 'bullet-proof' and require no maintenance then worth the money. Fit and forget.

I've bought a set, £200 delivered to the UK is worth every penny to have a part of good quality, unlike the alternatives that are readily available!

[IronmanG]

I just enquired. Its approx 172 quid at the moment for 4 sent.
I can ask see if they cam do more sets at a discount?

That would be nice.
