But like are the parts actually better? or more robust? or is it just marketing? I would think if Meyle were to offer a HD variant and a standard variant.

More robust backed by a 4 Year warranty. Wouldnt it be nice if all manufacturers listed real specs other than size and weight? They offer both HD and standards. MB is only 1 year warranty. I will only buy meyle hd from now on. They have subframe mounts and rear diff mounts. I just bought a set of the diff mounts. I hope they come out with HD flex disks and trans mounts. They have HD engine mounts as well.

Hmmmm. I know people who have used other Meyle HD engine mounts only to have them collapse in less than a year I think.

I think I bought a Meyle HD air cleaner bracket for my one 617 and it snapped in the middle. Lasted a year or so, maybe two.

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.
