Yeah, that's what I've been hearing/reading about the Meyle stuff lately. The Febi has all the info cleanly cast into the rubber, and good hardware with it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were shown to be counterfeit.

The Flex Discs on my Car have Jurid on them and no country of Origin. When I looked Jurid up I found that Febi and Jurid are parts of the same company.
I do not know mine are the originals that came with the Car. It appeas some one has been under the Car along time ago and painted a white strip to mark what position they go in.

I've got a new flex disk for my E300D on the shelf that I've had a year or two. It is a Febi and "Made in Germany" is stamped right on the disk. Still running with the originals on the car.

A question for VSTECH. Why does the exhaust pipe have to be moved to remove the drive shaft. Will that apply to a particular year SD. On my 84 the drive shaft slides out to the rear over the exhaust pipe just to the right of the diff. Are the differences in other years?
