I did some research on TheSamba about exactly this over the last few days.  The Febis come highly recommended, and it seems the Meyles are widely trashed.  No one has reported installations of the FEQs, so, as a "public service", that's what I ordered today.  I'll be sure and report back over the next few months.

(Note that everyone is complaining about squeaks coming back to life from upper bushings no matter what the brand.. seems that the replacement stuff just isn't done as well as what the original parts were)

Subject: Febi or FEQ upper control arm bushing quality

Does anyone have any experience with the upper control arm bushings now sold by FebiBilstein and, from the pictures on various vendors web sites, FEQ?  How do they compare to Meyle's product.  Does anyone know anything about Vaico's upper control arm bushings?

You can reply via p-mail if you like.

Thanks,
