How ironic. In WWII AC/Delco was making parts to blow up Mercedes made items. I wonder if their philosophy has changed?

1988 560SEL "Gunther"- 190K passes anything except a gas station
1997 S420 - 265k just bought it with a rebuilt trans. Lovely condition

I am asking because last year I replaced the idler arm kit with FB Belstine and it only lasted 1 year.

I honestly have no idea if their parts are any good, but they will probably last at least a year.

I wonder if you don't have some other steering component worn out that is exacerbating the wear on the idler arm.

Mercedes used the Delco A/C compressors before switching to Nippon Denso . . . talk about your WWII crossovers . . .

itll last about half a year

I go MB genuine parts most times.. not a huge difference and the quality is noticeable on many parts.
