Meyle Upper Strut Bearings

[bmw2002tiidriver]

I am about to do a suspension overhaul, and I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Meyles, or if I should just stick with stock. Thanks.

You might be splitting hairs here a little bit. I've had good luck with both. If you talk to enough people I'm sure you'll eventually find someone who doesn't like on brand and another who feels the exact opposite.

meyle is one of only a very few companies who have a rep here in the us, and will try to make it right if there are any problems. while they are not german made, they are of very high quality, and actually better than some german brands. iow, you can do a whole lot worse

I haven't had any issues with the Meyle parts I've used over the years.

Then again, there was a similar conversation years ago about the E30M3 water pumps. One brand was prone to leaking at the shaft. Many people had that failure. Many of us had that brand in the car and had no issues at all. Problems with a particular brand of component may be due to a certain production run...unless it's some 2002 windsheild seals made by Uro.

There was a fairly long thread on this not long ago (try the FORUM SEARCH) and, if I remember correctly, many recommended (or had no issues with) the Meyle strut bearings. I've used a number of their suspension components with no negative consequences.
