Thanks for the reply. These tie rod ends were replaced at some point by a PO, but they're toast now. I have no idea what brand they are/were. I have seen lemforder suspension stuff listed for MBs and I know moog used to make good stuff, but since I haven't had any experience with any of these brands on the 190 I thought I should ask. So, one vote for Lemforder. Oh and I've never heard of klarius/quinton hazell...
