Engine mounts

[Slartibardfast1]

I'll shortly be needing to replace the engine and gearbox mounts on my S Class W221. Theses are currently showing as factory back order. Is there a decent alternative manufacturer or should I wait for OEM?

Lemforder make them for MB

I think you will find Leomforder ones are in short supply too.

Fitted a Febi set the other day, just as good a quality and fit.

Try Autodoc for the Lemforder ones

Hi Steve. Where is the best place to get a Febi set please? Cheers

I had to replace a pair of febi mounts on my W211 immediately because they vibrated like hell. However I got febi’s for my 190 and they were OEM in a different box. It’s a random. I would get the lemforder part number and see if you can find them.

Febi made in germany are OEM
Febi made in china are rubbish.

IMO Febi rubber parts are usually top notch, and I will offer them instead of OEM when supply issues etc.

Trouble is, how do you know when placing an order?

When you order loads, you figure which models are German vs others. Sorry, I know it's not much help.

The location of manufacture is written on the box/part.

If the words on the box are 27 letters minimum in length and are in capitals so they read like they have been shouted then that’s the German made one .
If you squint and the lettering becomes clearer then that’s the Chinese ones

Are you stereo typing?

Btw I'm not suggesting you type with 2 fingers.
