Dezzie Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hi all. I think I'm going to need the rear diff mountings changed soon, as I'm getting a 'clunk' sometimes when I change gear or pull away hard. I've seen them on the net, and done some research, but they vary in price quite dramatically. I've seen some for £70 each, and some for £50 for the kit of 3 ! Is it worth buying the cheap ones? I remember buying some cheap prop bearings years ago, and ended up changing them quite soon after. Any reccomendations? Any makes better than others ? Worth buying genuine? Thanks for any help. Cheers ......................... Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggNChips Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I've been stung too many times with cheap car parts. I've had drop links that lasted 2 weeks and prop bearings that lasted about the same. Pay the extra for decent branded parts....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I've had a lot of non-gen parts die very quickly (not just the blue-box ones either) so now pretty much everything on mine is genuine. They're actually not bad price-wise, it's just the blue boxes make them seem expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezzie Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks guys, confirmed what I was thinking. You buy cheap, you buy twice ! Do Land Rover make their own Diff Mountings, or did they use 'GKN' or another brand such as that? I guess if I just ask for "Genuine", they'll sort me out. Cheers.
