Now out of all options out there, I jave settled with Meyle HD. 20k km later still ok. NVH is indeed slightly higher compared to new malaysia lemförder but really minimal.
I did end up purchasing new Passat ball joints.
I got 555 for my 06 same exact size and fit plus comes with an optional grease fitting in case they are punctured or ripped. they are great except for the fact they need to be painted/coated to prevent rust.
I had just bought my new 2003 Tundra, and at 35k, the dealer replaced the ball joints. I've got 365k on the Tundra, and the ball joints are still tight
Look good, I've had great luck with all Delphi parts. They are my new go too when I don't go OEM. These are sealed ball joints like the Honda OEM ones and don't need to be greased.
Even though the Meyle HD ones can be replaced, I think Meyle just recommends one replacement. The aluminum that the ball joints are pressed into is considered a sacrificial metal, so the installation process kinda hoses the control arm and, in general, is considered a one-time install.
Avoid moog, I always had issues with them on Japanese makes.
Moog is junk now. they used to use copper bushings or sockets in the ball joints/sway bar links . Now they’re using plastic and we are replacing suspension and steering parts under warranty within a year of putting them into service.
Moog is trash. Seriously trash.
It was a LEMFORDER and thats why I went for this part. So got the car up got both disconnected and off. Tried to put the one that I got that is 191 411 315B on but no way.
