I was disappointed yesterday when I opened a shipment from a site sponsor and found Febi ball joints and tie rod ends inside. It was crystal clear to the seller that I wanted TRW ball joints and genuine Saab tie rod ends and was willing to pay a premium to get them. To their credit they reduced the price, and they're willing to take the parts back. But they should not have surprised me.
When I replace parts I want the new parts to last a looong time. The Febi tie rod ends are made in Spain. The Febi ball joints are made in Taiwan. Are these parts as good as anything on the market? If not, then what brands are better?
