Genuine parts or Lemforder / Febi??

[andyg0141]

Hi,

I am needing a couple of suspension arms for my W221 S320 and am looking for opinions of whether to go for genuine items or Lemforder / Febi parts?

One is needing replaced as the ball joint is gone on it (cant be replaced seperatley) and the other as the bush has de-laminated from it (Mercedes have advised that even with a new arm they recommend fitting a new style bush so I am guessing this is a common problem).

Any advice would be great.

Thanks, Andy

Lemforder are genuine.

i think Febi is made in china now?
i would stick with Lemförder as they make parts for MB

Aren't Febi part of Bilstein now - or is it the other way around?

Thanks for the advice. Will stick with genuine Merc probably as not a great price difference with the bushes.
