I replaced my draglink with a Uro brand. It was in stock, and the Lemforder would take 2 days to get here. Needed the car on the road. Also replaced the steering shock with a high-quality brand. Mine has worked fine so far. I wouldn't worry too much about using a Uro draglink or tie-rods. Not sure I would use them for a balljoint. I have used Meyle brand parts for strut mounts and engine mounts. Their website states that they have "uprated" these parts with thicker and better materials to correct original design flaws which led to early failure. They even include cross sectional drawings to show their improvements. Which sold me. Some people criticize Meyle parts as being substandard, they are a little cheaper in some cases. Time will tell.
