Genuine Lemförder, counterfeit Lemforder, or reboxed part...
Opinions needed, I am not familiar with the markings. What do you all think this is? Genuine Lemförder, counterfeit Lemforder, or reboxed part?

I know Lemforder does rebox parts. The 190D turbo engine mounts I got from Pelican were just like the OEM mounts in my 190D, both say "Boge" on them.

Boge is (now?) the same company so I don't think we can label them as re-boxers just yet.

Have you compared this new part with any old ones? Is there, for example, a difference in weight?

Lemforder reboxes the Phoenix Motor Mounts (same as the Dealer Motor Mounts) for the OM617.952; so it is resonable to expect they do the same with other stuff.
Also as the other Member said I think Boge is part of the ZF Company of whic Lemfoerder is part of.

I have not compared them yet. Quote:
Here is the Phoenix manufactured motor mount with the MB logo ground off. If you look closely, the Phoenix logo is right under the part number on the rubber mount. .

Interesting, I would of thought there would be more Lemförder w123 upper control arm users to tell about their experiences.

My upper control arms are made by Quinton Hazell of all the bloody possibilities! I get the feeling many people have fitted the cheaper brands. Knowing what I now know about the cheaper brands I would be saving up for Lemforder...

I bought a set of TRWs for my 126. Are the 126/123 arms the same?

At one time TRW could be had for w123s, apparently, but they seem to be extinct now.

This was my main reason for buying TRW. The previous Febi's developed squeaking noises after removing them I found the balljoints to be considerably looser than the new parts ...they only had 5-8K on them tops.
