Why are you doubting the quality on ebay? As long as they are an established brand (do research) then it cuts out middleman and cost less.

Or you can go to Land Rover/Halfords and buy the same stuff at inflated price. Your decision.

I was just wondering about the quality as they range from 13 quid for the pair to 25 quid each and was interested in other users experience of the quality of them...

Am aware that people know the price of everything and the value of nothing!

As said " Yer pays yer money and ......."
I fitted a set of these today which replaced the same FAI items from the same seller that I fitted 19 months ago.
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
They were both well worn and clunking .
To be fair though the car is driven a mile and a half down an almost immpassable pot hole riddled track to my wifes work every weekday so the wear rate is significantly greater than normal.
Takes 40 minutes to replace both sides so at that price and that life I'm not complaining.

Edit , do the ARB bushes at the same time it's very easy . I fitted Poly bushes 19 months ago and they are still perfect.

Watch some of the ebay ones, I bought a pair for around £10 (yeah I know :lol and they only lasted 3 months before the rubber joint covers perished and split resulting in clonking again.

Get a known make or OE ones, I got some FAI ones this time so hoping they will last this time
