Before I came to Mercedes, I drove a Volvo. Lemforder is an OE supplier for Volvo as well. During that time (starting 5 years ago), we began to see that Lemforder was made in China. IOW, the Lemforder of now is not the Lemforder of old. And yes, the Chinese stuff was crap.

I'd buy Moog over Lemforder, but then again I get a discount.. :-)
