Hello again guy's

Lately my baby had a few strange noises under the car when steering at low speeds. Immediately i made her an appointment to the doctor's office to run some test and find out what is happening with her
After lifting her up, the doctor did a complete examination and prescribed her new tie rods, tie rod end's and ball joints. Also, if you are allready at the pharmacy add some controll arms as well he said!

Ok, now my baby is a bit sick but she will make it

My dilema is this, original MB parts are very expensive, but on the other hand i dont want to buy the cheapest and lowest quality though. After checking with the known online parts shops i found the following options:
Delphi, Febi Bilstein, Lemforder & Myele. From all those options Lemforder are the second most expensive after original MB parts and i understood that they are OEM.

What do you guy's recomand to purchase? are Lemforder worth the investent comparing to the other manufactures which are much cheaper? i want the best quality in a reasonable price range.

In a couple of weeks she's due to go under surgey, i pray for her quick recovery

They are all OEM suppliers. Lemforder may be your best starting point. Hope she gets well soon ;-)

Thanks for the replay.
When you say that Lemforder is my best starting point i understand there are better options then Lemforder. Did i understood corectly?
I assumed that becose Lemforder are the most expensive from all the brands i mentioned above its also the better quality. Maybe there are also other brands who i did not mentioned but those are all i know.
