Front suspension arms

Hi,

Does anyone know the OEM brand for the front suspension arms. I’m looking to replace both and can’t bring myself to pay JLR prices. I was hoping I could get them from another source if I had the manufacturer. I would also consider a tried and tested aftermarket one if there are any recommendations. TIA for any assistance.

Cheers

Al

TRW ones are good put these on the Old Boilers Skoda but remember what ever make you put on you will need to get all the tracking reset. Why not just renew the bushes in you existing ones? 2013 FL2 XS.

I've used Febi Bilstein arms on VW and Skoda before

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll have a look at the replacing the individual bushings and weigh it up against a full replacement part. I used Febi before for my VW Golf so may go that route.

Febi quality is pretty good, I have used them a lot without a problem. It is not worth messing about replacing bushes change the complete arm and you get the ball joint as well.

Not worth messing with bush replacement, as the ball joint will also be worn, and the wishbone will be rusty too. I just replace whole wishbones, and I have a 20 tone press to make the job easier, but it's still not worth the time. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
