    What ball joints you using? Aftermarket stuff can be hit and miss for quality but Delphi are always OEM quality and strength

    Any part you buy will be OEM quality if it's from a motor factor. Online different story...

    Don't believe that for a second Ben, it all depends on the make. You will never have to me believing that a QH bottom ball joint is as good as GM.

    They are all built to OE quality. They have to be, well all our stuff does.

    And QH made half the stuff for GM. (cv joint, ball joints, track ends and arms)

    It's only the cheap stuff you buy from Ebay that isnt...

    Maybe the earlier ones (sent to gm) where better made? Not sure. Might be just different tolerances(sp?)

    I've had the same with First line over Moog. Both Oe, but First line stuff wears alot quicker.

    You did just prove me right just then - First line are used by most motor factors round here.

    All I know is Delphi stuff is OE strength and quality, nowerdays with Vauxhall prices being retardly expensive I just fit Delphi stuff and it's spot on.
