Hi all, just a quick question about the parts sold by this company. With having such a heavy beast that I use on the moors frequently and have to suffer the crappy Devon roads daily I want to make sure I get good quality OEM spec or better parts. So the question is, are the suspension and steering components up to scratch from Milners? The prices seem alittle cheap, not that I'd complain if they are up to the job! |

No! Definitely not. They're cheap for a reason: Chinese junk mostly (not the ship kind )
Blueprint are the way to go for quality pattern parts. |

But it does depend on the part you require, most suspension bushes they supply are mitsi ones, balljoints and track rods aren't and the rubbers often fail causing premature wear, a lot of other items are copies but do the job fine. So it really does depend on the component you're after, but as said blueprint are good quality and if you search around will find quite a variation in price from different suppliers, just down to having the time to browse. |

I got a pair of Hitachi front shocks and a front offside caliper from them and have had no problems. _________________ Ian.
