I'll shortly be needing to replace the engine and gearbox mounts on my S Class W221. Theses are currently showing as factory back order. Is there a decent alternative manufacturer or should I wait for OEM?
 
Lemforder are what you are looking for . They make them for MB . They have various factories around the world so don't be alarmed if the package says 'made in Turkey' .

Mine were fitted about 30K miles ago and still holding the big V8 engine up no problem.

Autodoc (bit slow to deliver sometimes) , ECP uk should be able to help.

Just make sure you get the correct ones . as I understand it some of them have different fluid inside but look identical on the outside (Maybach ?) . Aftermarket 'billet' silicone are available , no idea how good/bad they are.

Not your car , but gives you an idea.

My last Lemforder mount said "made in China" on the box. Which did alarm me.
Imagine how the bloke who picked up his 2023 C63 felt when he discovered it was built in South Africa and not Bremen in Germany , thats probably got Chinese engine mounts as well .

It's the way of the world :p
 
I think most Apple products are made in China
