Control Arm Manufacturers
Is anybody aware of any qualitative difference between Lemfoerder, Meyle, and Febi?

I checked out some replacement Lemforder tie rods for a friends ML 430, but the swivel ends seemed awfully loose for a new part, so I wound up getting those from Mercedes. Happy Motoring, Mark

Lemfoerder(Mercedes,BMW,Peugeot-Citroen)-steering&suspension,some engine parts(mounts,harmonic ballancers,shocks)Subdivision of ZF-along with Sachs and Boge brands...
Meyle&Febi-no. Swag neither. All of these sell parts manufactured all around the world by subcontractors,that`s why quality varies (greatly)...I`ve seen febi bushings,made by Lemfoerder,INA pulleys in Swag package...Probably half (or more)of the Febi and SWAG itmes are 100% identical...
