Shocks and bearings

[BigBoomer]

If you look on eBay there are reconditioned OE air-struts for around £300 each.

That cheap one probably won't last very long but at that price might be worth it.

On the bearing front 300quid if fitted is a slice of money but it’ll be fit and forget.

I’ve an SKF on one corner. Cost me £100, I bought the bearing for 50 quid, took the down link and hub in my backpack to an Indy who charged me 50 quid to swop it out.

I’m boycotting SKF as they’ve moved their UK production to Poland, shutting the UK factory.

I'm not at all surprised.
Between Brexit and the Tories other changes to import/export processes exporting from the UK to the EU or vice-versa is now a royal PITA and has made many UK products uncompetitive in the EU and elsewhere. But no, Boris had to have the hard-Brexit his puppet-masters wanted and now we all get to suffer the consequences.
