Anyone use parts mfd by Hamburg-Technic of Germany?

[1steven]

I'm looking for new front suspension parts and found a seller on ebay, Deutsche Parts USA which has control arms and sway bar end links mfd by Hamburg-Technic of Germany. They claim these are actual OEM--not OEM style--and exceed OE specs. Their prices are great and free shipping, but I don't want to end up doing the job again in a year. Who are Volvo OEMs? How about Febi, Lemforder, MTC or APA as far as quality for suspension parts? Is Meyle the same as Scan-Tech? Heard nothing but bad about them. THANKS!

The reviews of Hamburg Technic have been very poor. A couple of guys on VS bought some Hamburg-Technic stuff and it failed again within 6 months so it is on par with Scan-Tech. For control arms I only use OEM. The best OEM pricing I've come across lately is from Darrell Waltrip Volvo. (800) 689 - 0021, ask for Jamie or Don.

There is no record of any import customs declarations filled by any Customs broker in USA For HAMBURG TECHNIC from Germany or ANY European port, all thou there are plenty of ones from Far East. There is NO company registered In HAMBURG with that name In town or on the municipal HAMBURG TECHNIC district, there is no B card ( sort of a business registry that allows one to conduct business, collect and pay VAT etc.) , We know that name of the owner who is form India, had registered few websites . The trademark registered by the same was abandoned in 2006. We are HAMBURG people. We don't have many ties to the big India, other than Tourism and watching their BOLLIWOOD movies . We have seen some pretty good quality parts from far east , some of the original Volvo parts are made there. But they are clearly marked- where they are made..... China. Same quality , because now they can.
But there is no reason, that the German Made as Claimed RUBBA parts should fail in 6 month. I would say. I would say that the company should be called a RIPPERBAHN TECHNIC . Google it
