Interestingly the vendor has replied to say the parts are genuine QH.... So if that's the case how many miles do parts with lesser pedigree last? Martin

Seeing the reference to parts on Ebay has prompted me to write this note. After an advisory on the MOT I replaced the offside track control arm on my Rickman ranger (slight play in ball joint). I bought the Quinton Hazell part off ebay (in fact I bought a pair). Fast forward just 3283 miles, and it's just failed the MOT due to play in the inner bush of the same part (and the tested wasn't making it up, I saw it as well). The parts certainly looked to be genuine QH, and I've put a bolt in the unused, nearside one and tested it in the vice and that one appears to be ok. I've asked the question of the vendor (but suspect I won't get a response). Maybe I'm fussy, buy I'd expect the inner bush to last at least 20k miles. It's certainly worrying, because as our cars get older it seems we can only get pattern parts either from local factors, with 'manufacturers' called 'First Line' or 'National' being examples which don't inspire confidence, or from Ebay.
