Yes, the curse of Uro parts again.

These endlinks have less than 3000 miles on them. The collar on the right is rattling around freely in the bushing, boots perished and torn already, suspension was clunking over every bump.

I got these on Rock Auto, the same endlinks are sold on Moss Jaguar.
I just replaced with Dorman, so will find out soon enough if they are better.

Dorman can't be any worse. I avoid Uro parts like the plague but, sadly, sometimes they're the only alternative on these cars. Especially hoses.

 

Yep, stay away from URO every chance you get....

 

Hmm, the ones I bought from Partsgeek were branded "API Premium Parts" but look identical, anybody know if they are the same?
A search through my order history shows that my replacement lower shock mount bushings, from AutohausAZ, were the URO brand.
Maybe I get to redo some of the front suspension work much sooner than I expected...

 

hahhah they look like they have 100,000 miles on them

 

yep, I had to double take and wonder had I really changed them, found my invoice from rock auto from 2023 and I'd written it up in my service spreadsheet.
