Hi all
I know it's an old chestnut, but where is the best place to buy Lemforder suspension joints for my S3.
I'm told they are the best and I've decided to replace all!

Hello Peter,
They're the best I've tried and all I use now. They're available from SNG Barratt.

Following is a picture of one brand (German manufacture) I've tried that were rubbish. It wasn't just the one but the whole dozen I purchased at the time. It's not a case where I simply had the holes misaligned, as the assembly locates via a spigot fit in the lower bore of the stub axle carrier. Once the part is rotated about the axis of the spigot to get one bolt to assemble, all other hole were out of alignment as shown.

Regards,

Bill
