That's not good. Hope my wishbones last longer!! I wouldn’t bet a packet of cheese and onion crisps on it... I’m coming to the conclusion there isn’t much decent around for parts these days; what is “safe” apart from OEM (and possibly TRW)? Pagid/Brembo tends to come from ECP (or one of their outlets by another name) in the UK, so that’s out. Eicher is just squeal material. Can you actually get anything decent in brakes easily? The Britpart way is taking over.

From recent parts searching id say QH are now just a rebrand of the cheapest parts available.
If its a car I'm keeping id fit poly bushes if they are available.
With the wishbones on p2 v70's they tend to say buy oem but they have been sitting on a shelf for many years and they have been reports of these showing cracking signs pretty mch traight away. If not oem buy lemforder complete arms, not seperate bushes as they are a lower quality than the bushes fitted to complete arms.
Minefield of curse word parts, and curse word sellers.
Fitting Poly instead as they hopefully should be fit and forget.

Having had poly bushes break up after some years, they’re not the “fit and forget” option everyone thinks - plus there’s good and cr@p poly bushes out there as well..
Doesn’t matter what it is, there’s always a race to the bottom. “Everyday value” Digestives that fall into your cuppa or wishbones that don’t last until the next MoT - either way a waste of time and money. You can earn more money but you can’t earn more time..

You can earn more money but you can’t earn more time.. I like that, very true.
