To kaneelschep I've been ordering some suspension and other timing parts (INA branded) from Rexbo Car Parts in Germany. They have a fixed fee up to 3kg of 33 Euro by DHL Post so not too awful. I recently landed some Febi-Bilstein spring seats to try out on my wife's XC70 so we'll see how they go. The rest of the Febi Bilstein range they stock looks good such as ball joints and sway bar links.

It may be worth your while to make up a box and wait out the (slow) DHL Post method.

Nice! :) No. It does not really pull anywhere. Even torque steer is almost non existant.
Allignment was checked a few months ago after swapping a steering rod. Saves me a 65 euro at my diy garage.

Thanks!!

Buy some cheap after market ones from FCP. They have a lifetime warranty, so when they fail again in 3 years, they will send you some more cheap ones and you can do it all over again! Lifetime, whata joke
