Thanks Jim, I am amazed that someone thinks that NOS aftermarket parts for old cars should be priced a lot higher than you can buy new.... If they were genuine Vauxhall or even Lockheed then a bit of a premium can be justified, but an extra 80% is a bit daft IMO.

I personally prefer genuine Vauxhall or old Lockheed stock for the ball joints as they are better engineered than the QH and many of the other aftermarket ones, as a result I have a reserve stock of them, just in case....

I have had good experiences of a number of First Line products but no direct experience of their Viva ball joints. I would assume that they will be of a good quality like their other products I have used and probably a lot better than most other aftermarket ones.
