Hi Guys,

I want to post my worries with faked flexible joints for my 99 500 sl. I just tried to save a few dollars with buying cheap parts. F***

I will never buy a Chinese or Taiwan brand and no more Meyle parts!!

None of these rubber discs last more than 20.000 miles. Now I bought one original from my Mercedes dealer. 63.000 miles without any problems!!!

Guys, don't try to save on these parts - there is no saving at all.

My dealer is Austrian and he told me that only a German company is producing the parts that work. I found it on the internet www.sgf.de. Very interesting. I thought it is only rubber and a few strings inside.

Diesel Benz from Wisconin - YES finally I made it to come here!
