Boge I believe are now the same company as ZF and Lemfoerder

I understand your concerns about new parts but I don't think a Xenophobic approach to parts selection helps. I've had just as many parts with "Germany" on the box fail as from other countries.

I think you are best off trying the parts you have bought especially as the price you paid wasn't as high as it could have been - I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get exactly the same part (with out the markings) for a higher price if you really want to though...
