Hi.
Question as above. Or just your direction on the best choice for ball joints? Given the recent collapse of them on our poor Mini's.
Cheers

They have had a very satisfactory history for many years. Many people specified their parts because they tended to be better than OEM quality. I hear that they are under new ownership, but their production seems to still be based around Europe, not China.
I have had upwards of 60k miles from properly shimmed QH balljoints, which were not lapped.

Q&H has had a good reputation.
However, in the Triumph world of parts they have had a series of issues with the quality of their clutch components and they are to be avoided. That is not to say that Q&H Mini balljoints are bad... just a reminder that forums like this are a good place to bring up any quality issues so vendors can be made aware of any problems that do arise.

I'd rather buy QH than some unbranded stuff from the Mini Suppliers. Also NOS QH stuff turns up on Ebay at less than retail prices. I buy them up now and again and just store them away for when they are needed.
