L322 Front Suspension Arms

[donp38]

Hi All.
On the last MOT it was noticed I have some wear in the front suspension arms.
So I am now planning to do a refresh and replace both sides, upper and lower arms and ball joints.
Can anyone recommend any brand other than genuine LR?
This is for a 2005 L322 V8 petrol

Cheers.

I think Delphi and Lemforder are the OEM suppliers to Land Rover. They're what I used to buy, before my indie said they are no longer allowed to let customers purchase items, due to insurance restrictions.

How difficult/easy is it to do front suspension arms? ISTR trying on my old car and couldn't get access to a ball joint under the stub axle. My"new" car needs them replacing, indi garage wants about £1k to do them.

I'll find out at the weekend!! Getting the arm off seems ok taking the ball joints out.. not so much fun

ISTR doing one on my last long-term car, it was not an easy job. I had to give up and take it to a garage.
