Lemforder I believe are the OEM brand, Land rover part will most likely arrive with a lemforder label on it! Delphi stuff is pretty decent. For the price difference I'd go lemforder.

Rear axle ball joint or tie rod ends?

Lemforder may well have sold some tie rod ends to LR at some point or may even still do but my experience from a year ago is that what arrived in a lemforder box was not the same as fitted to the vehicle from the factory. The lemforder part was not the same height as the LR part. Additionally the other makes (particularly the one with grease nipple) have a lower quality rubber boot that does not last long.

In the past I have order some Britpart OEM tie rod ends that were identical to the LR ones but don't know what they supply now.

With the lemforder rear axle ball joint it is again looking different to the LR one. Some if these OEM suppliers make one version for LR and another for aftermarket and the suppliers (allmakes, britpart etc) appear to use the OEM Manufacturer term rather loosely if you are expecting the same quality item in a different box.

Hope that helps. 1995 300tdi Defender 90 P/UP
