Why do you plan on only buying Meyle HD? Due to the lengthy warranty?


I am one of those that had their 'HD motor mount' collapse in well under a year on my 300SEL with its frame twisting 188lbft of torque. And well under, I mean in a few days short of a week. HD crap.

My V90 also had quite a few HD Meyle bits on it when I redid the front end four or five years ago... sway links are junk now due to boots ripping as are the ball joint boots and I have a groaning strut bearing. Great. This is not just on that Volvo, my E23 BMWs also all have cracked boots on the Meyle stuff.



Stick with OEM, Sachs/Boge, or Lemforder if available. Anything else and you will be doing the work again shortly.
