Why does this seem more typical than an exception?  |

Alot of aftermarket parts have some cosmetic differences (Moog & TRW front end parts are good examples) but they usually perform the same or better. Just stick w/brand names. Since Ebay there's alot of "fly by nights" out there and all parts are fair game. |

Yep . . for example the difference between the serrated flange nuts, compression nuts, and the nylock nuts as shown in the pics. All 3 types do the same thing, just slightly differently . . pretty much interchangeable. The parts all work the same, probably just different production runs.

The bmw ends are from autohausaz and the volvo ends are from FCP Groton. I understand that they are all up to oe spec, but not all oe spec parts are created equal.. Lemforder>meyle>karlyn, hamburg technic, ocap, etc, etc... its just that i expect to get fricking matching parts.. these parts are from different manufacturers and therefore of different grades... i want the same balljoints around the car, suspension parts should be symetrical in all aspects if you ask me.... What a pain in the ass
