Two or three years ago I had never heard of URO parts. None my parts suppliers carried their parts. Now it seems there is a lot of this URO crap everywhere. As if they are mass manufacturing the W124 catalog now. I recall going through a few fan bearing brackets in 08/09 and I was getting Febi/Bilstein for ~$109. Now I can only get a URO bracket for $90.

Even a few years ago, I was hearing about the chinese outsourcing of Febi/Bilstein/Meyle and questionable QC. URO is definitely a step below Febi/Bilstein/Meyle while their pricing is nearly identical, and nowhere even close to dealership OEM parts.

Have you ever had problems with a Febi fan bearing bracket on an M103? I purchased one to install that was supposedly manufactured in Germany. I read somewhere that Febi was an OE supplier for the bracket to Mercedes, but I don't know if that's true.

Does anyone know who the OEM for the M103 fan bearing bracket was? Has anyone had any problems with a Febi/Bilstein fan bearing bracket they installed new in an M103?
