Title: OEM Springs ?
Post by: Malcolm on June 30, 2023, 12:23:55 PM
A warning to others, ordered some front springs on-line last week which i thought going by the picture were the original type with the bolts across the top leaf, i previously fitted the rear ones.
What turned up were the knock over standard clip ones.
Went online had live chat with someone who was not interested and that sorry the picture is wrong but that is the way they are made now.
I did say i would have ordered the British ones if i had known as they are identical to the ones i received.
No offer of recourse with difference in price, apart from we can pick them up.
Very poor show, the rears ones i fitted a few years ago seem very good so thought a full set would be the way to go.
It is a very loose term to class something as OEM when they are not as original design and are exactly the same as aftermarket.
I'm assuming they are OEM Britpart!
