Has anybody used parts from these part suppliers?
Febest, Febi Biltein or ABS.

I need to free off the cam bolts on the rear suspension ready for a four wheel alignment. The cambolts are seized solid in the top of the rear lateral link bush. I am going to need to cut the bolt out with a reciprocating saw which will damage the bush.
I have priced new lateral link assemblies from Subaru (Lateral link assembly -front. Part number 20250FG020) which come in at a staggering £199.89. These are complete with the bushing and ball joint.

I can get the same item from the above manufacturers for a lot less.
Febest £39.66
Febi Bilstein £27.21
ABS £21.51

My concern is on quality and how the items perform and last.

Is it a case of you get what you pay for? Buy cheap buy twice?

Any help or experience is much appreciated.

if you look up 20250FG020 on https://partsouq.com/ youll see 20250FG021 is the revised part number

 

Those Febi Bilstien you mentioned are quite big in the German car community. Would have thought quality would be fine due to them making a lot of OEM stuff for loads of manufacturers.

For the genuine subaru ones where did you get that quote from mate

 

I've just fitted Febi Bilstein tie rod ends to my car. I've used their parts before when I had BMW:s so I expect them to be decent but time will tell.

 

Sorry for the delayed reply to your question NOSSY_89. The quote was from Tees Valley Subaru in Darlington.

 

No worries mate. Was checking because I've found a lot of secondhand parts are now more expensive than buying brand new from the dealer.
