Interesting as he's just sent this reply:-

Hi ,at this stage I can only give you comments :We are a motor factor and 
source our
QH parts direct and not via a third party .Therefore , the parts supplied would 
be genuine 
Quinton Hazell track control arms .We do offer a 12 month warranty on these 
parts but, we
would replace the parts and require the suspected faulty parts to be returned 
for testing.
As the parts were purchased in April 2015 they are outwith the above warranty 
but, as a
gesture of goodwill we are prepared to give you a 50% refund.
Kind Regards
Kevin

We'll see what happens next, as I told him I need to keep the TCA (as I'll use 
a poly bush) but am happy to return the bush from the TCA.

  I’ve never had any problems with First Line parts from eBay, at least they 
are still making parts.
  QH folded over a year ago and all the factory stores were bought by 
Specialist Engines in Essex (who sell on Ebay as well).
  Anyone else selling ‘new’ QH parts on eBay has had them sitting on their 
shelves for quite some time.

  Subject: [Quantum Owners] Parts of dubious origin?

  Seeing the reference to parts on Ebay has prompted me to write this note. 
After an advisory on the MOT I replaced the offside track control arm on my 
Rickman ranger (slight play in ball joint). I bought the Quinton Hazell part 
off ebay (in fact I bought a pair). Fast forward just 3283 miles, and it's just 
failed the MOT due to play in the inner bush of the same part (and the tested 
wasn't making it up, I saw it as well). The parts certainly looked to be 
genuine QH, and I've put a bolt in the unused, nearside one and tested it in 
the vice and that one appears to be ok. I've asked the question of the vendor 
(but suspect I won't get a response). Maybe I'm fussy, buy I'd expect the inner 
bush to last at least 20k miles. It's certainly worrying, because as our cars 
get older it seems we can only get pattern parts either from local factors, 
with 'manufacturers' called 'First Line' or 'National' being examples which 
don't inspire confidence, or from Ebay. Martin
