Meyle, a German parts company and OEM supplier, builds their crap in China. I know that for sure, becuase I have had issues with that specific company's parts. Even OEM branded parts are made in China with sub-par rubber and steel (for chassis compnents, like ball joints, bushings, mounts, etc). I can't seem to get through a year nowadays without having to replace brand new rubber parts. I had a tie rod snap on me after being installed 6 months. That was fun.
Pros: cheap, longer serviceable life
Cons: sub-par rubber and steel
haven't had any issues with meyle tie rods from fcp euro. going on 8k miles
Pros: no issues, lifetime warranty
Mileage: 12875 km
I bought meyle ones from ecs and they are shot. Maybe 20,000 miles on them.
Cons: shot after 20000 miles
Mileage: 32186 km
Mjm autohouse has some Meyle brand, Would those be good quality or should I buy some oem ones, albeit a lot more money.
Cons: more money

I like the quality and price of the Meyle tierods, and tierod ends (while they aren't the least expensive, they are much less expensive than VW/TRW replacements and the quality is excellent).
Pros: excellent quality, good price
Cons: not the least expensive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen

Pros: legit parts
Cons: no complaints

The Meyle complete tierods fit perfectly, and I still have plenty of thread left on the inner tierods (around 5/16\"-3/8\"\" of thread showing on the inners) for adjustment (longer or shorter) even after installing H&R Sport springs.
Pros: fit perfectly, plenty thread

Have the same issue with the Meyle replacemants, you have to cut about 1/2 inch of the tread from each side .
The tie rod i installed was made by Meyle, but Febi is top quality as far as aftermarket OEM replacement parts go.
Pros: top quality
