According to the compatible parts database they should fit.

Should do (for front ones) and at that price it isn't a disaster if they don't last.

Agree with the previous sentiments.... pity that the state of the roads and damn speed humps are causing so much damage to our vehicles.......alas Bongo's are not alone in this....

I reckon there is a market for a "Vehicle Damage Claim kit" ..... bit like those Will ones....but you would need a garage or mechanic to agree the damage was road inflicted.....easy if your drop links are only a year old for example....

Those Vectra ones are a bit of a false economy IIRC. They will fit bit won't stand the extra weight. Mine went again after 10 months. .

Weird - my Vectra ones are in their 3rd year of good service. BUT, I don't do many miles, and even fewer in really rough terrain (if you discount speed bumps :lol: :lol: :cry: )
