New Ball Joint Designs
So, my ball joints are beyond toast/collapsed as I had the Deustche Parts ones and I was right now purchasing and look what I discovered.
Has anyone purchased them recently?
It seems there is a new design at half the price:
AutoHauzAZ $51*2
PartsGeek 48*2
RMEUROPEAN $30*2
PelicanParts $28*2
Do I stick to the old ones or what is this new design at lower cost?
I found some data on it:

BJ is a critical part for car's handling and safety.
I don't even try aftermarket for any suspension parts, let alone from ebay.
I try to buy OEM parts which has same quality but cheaper. If OEM is not available I will go to dealer and stick with MB OE parts.
Aftermarkets or fake parts from ebay won't save your money during long run. It may hurt your car or even introduce safety issue.
Take care.

Sorry, but it's not a good idea buying BJ from ebay.

on eBay some sellers do sell OEM parts, and OEM isn't always the best. There are some companies that sell parts with a longer warranty, and better quality I look for the place where the part is made. If made in euro it is a good quality. But I have my ball joints, they were OEM and from ebay
