There’s this for £74 - (probably BritPart - will message the seller to confirm) - https://ebay.us/m/BBpJO8 but confirmed BritPart - £100 - https://ebay.us/m/J1Hrth.

Are there any other brands to go for.

Then, I’ll be paring the two with the Terrafirmer TF834 - https://ebay.us/m/nEIu2e - why, because my old P38 drove just so much smoother and it had this damper, so I’m trying to replicate that old setup.

Context - I did my alignment on the car. It didn’t last long. I’ve finished my tire off after 5000 miles. Outer edge is worn and I just came back from a 250 mile drive today - final nail in the coffin. The interior vibrations are too much at 30mph.

Island 4x4 or LRDirect. Go for Moog (decent quality aftermarket), Lemforder or anything marked as OEM, which will be Lemforder.

Unfortunately, like some other brands that used to be quality, Moog is no longer what it used to be. At least that's my experience.

Would it not make more sense to buy the ends?

So the £74 unit is not BritPart, but British Spare Parts directly. I've never heard of them before, and I can't find anything online about them.

If you can get the old ones off to fit the new ones. The adjuster on the drag link and, to a slightly lesser degree, the track rod, usually requires lots of heat, a pair of Stilsons and a very long bar to put on the end.

Hm, I'm starting small. I've ordered the damper + anti-roll bar bushes & drop link. I thought since I'm there, I might as well get it replaced.

Then, I'll collect the drop link + track rod, hopefully for £50 as the sellers are local.
