Overall I have had the most success with the Meyle. The FEBI and the
dealer is the same part.

I've had two sets of Meyle's go south on me in about 5 months.  One
usually
starts squeeking within the first two weeks, eventually sounds like the
spring is pinging.  Anybody got a line on a set of Febi's?  I just read a
thread in the samba that really helped me understand build quality
differences and the value of tack welding them into place.

Maybe I should bite the bullet and get VW issue replacements at close to
67
bucks, times 4. 251 407 077

My local guys only have Meyle.  Who's got better stuff?

Thanks!
