(it's about a part manufacturer), but felt it important to post up somewhere and this seemed like the most relevant section. Around 8-9 months ago I purchased new Delphi drop links all around for the car.
These were fine to start with, and the car has pretty much been garaged or covered since these were purchased and only covered very very minimal mileage, and only in dry conditions. The car recently flew through its mot and whilst in there the mot tester picked up on the fact that the front drop link rubber boots were perished
I wasn't exactly happy.
As far as I'm concerned a part lasting 8 months having covered minimal mileage in dry conditions is just rubbish.
Now it might be a bad batch but I'm pretty peeved that I've got to be forking out for a different set so soon. I've contacted TFS on here about their drop links as they look a lot more durable and are adjustable.
Lost all faith in Delphi parts which I had previously considered to be relatively good. Due to this I will also be replacing the rears when finances allow as I don't want Delphi on my car any more. I know you can buy new rubber boots but I shouldn't have to after that short a time period.
I'd rather place my money elsewhere - like with a trader on here. Ranting over
