Fight Back; Post/List Where The Parts You Bought Were Made

I think it would be helpful if the Members had one thread that they could go to so that they can see where their parts are made before they order. I hope this can be the Thread.
Please give info on your New Parts.
Give any additional details; especially if you had any problems installing or fitting the parts.

Here is my parts just received today:
Lemforder Motor Mounts for 917.952 are made in Turkey

Meyle Drive Shaft Support is made in Thailand

Bought last year:

Lemforder Lower Ball Joints are made in Germany

Bought as part of a front end kit; URO Ball Joints. Where they are made is not listed. The ouside diameter is larger than the outside diameter of Lemforders and I believe the extra width would have made it harder to press in.

Bosch Glow Plugs made in France

I have read 2 accounts that Motor Mounts ordered from the Dealer for 617.95s are made in Turkey. The Lemforders are also made in Turkey and both Motor Mounts have a place on them where it looks like the Mercedes Star was ground off.
So I do not see the point of buying Motor Mounts from the dealer and paying the High price for them if you can get the same by getting Lemforders (at around $22 each).
Both Motor Mounts also have 2 Blue Dots on them.
