I bought mega expensive wheel bearings from ggr expecting something special,quint in hazel motor factors bearings turned up,for the price I expected genuine ford items but got something I could buy from my local factors for less than half the price.
I suspect their cv joints will be the same.

These seem like good value, it is plus VAT though.
