I have to say I have not been impressed with Meyle HD. I have used 3 sets of track rod ends on A6 and they always lasted only about a year before grease inside dried up, they started creaking and wore out soon after that. Also had a pair of Meyle HD straight lower arms on S8 and the bush where the shock attaches does not look too good after couple of years and about 3k miles, previous cheap no brand arms lasted about 10k and looks like these will do about the same. Maybe I just had bad luck or had counterfeit parts as there are many other happy users and that's the reason I have kept buying them. But after 3 sets of track rod ends on A6 I have given up on Meyle. Just bought a pair of OEM Audi track rod ends at a great price on e-bay for less than £34 delivered as they are about £60 each from dealer. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1218412303...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I hope they will last on A6 as S8 still has factory track rod ends at 140k miles.
