a few years back when i went to replace ball joints, i ordered MOOGs, when they finally arrived in the mail, it turns out that the ball joints had the little owl stamp on them(this is LEMFORDER's LOGO).

Moral of the story: the more expensive MOOGS turned out to be Lemforders in a MOOG box.

Im not sure who made the factory installed ball joints for the 190 , but i believe that the w124 factory installed tie rods, centerdrag link and ball joints were made by TRW and Lemforder.


good luck
