No they're not
bullllllllshit! I've seen genuine last less than 8k. They're only made by KYB, they're nothing particularly special. The sachs ones are OK, but they're equivalent to a normal 172, no cup/cup pack equivalent available
The ECP one didn't fit in the housing. I had to file the edges down. It's stopped working again so I'm changing it free of charge next time the car comes in to me
very simply, with a prybar, lever the rack from side to side. If it shifts across and stays there the bushes are shot. There will always be a bit of movement as it's a rubbermounted rack, but it should spring back into place. They usually look in poor condition on the bits you can see by this...
