Lemforder are the only aftermarket option I think. Beware of cheap Chinese copies.

I got mine from http://www.allgermanparts.co.uk/ - Lemforder items.

The chap, Jason, was a pleasure to deal with and the service was excellent.

Lovely ill get an order then. Has anyone got any pointers?
Its obvious how they atrach to the hub but how do they come off the subframe.?
Last question is everyone on this forum at work? Ha ha

13698 02 is the Lemforder part number, btw.

I've not changed mine yet, but bought some bicycle inner-tubes to put round then tie wrap over the adjustor mech.

Changed mine 3mths ago, bought mine from pete at q corner expensive though £90 each
also changed the bolts that fit them to the sub-frame, b-----ds to get out with out heat

Also reminds me to get mine four wheel alligned. No wonder i have ruined a set of rear tyres

I guess its only the adjusters that need freeing up the actual arms look quite new. Ill have to look and see. I just like to have all the parts ready for the job

Yes make sure you strip the new arms and apply plenty of waterproof grease to the adjusters

Having a look at the parts system. It looks like all you can buy is the complete arm so you unbolt from the subframe, then the hub and swap. I assumed they would come in bits. Looks like another 200 quid then.

£65 each from Bestpartstore in Berlin
