Turbo Tie Rods

Post by Mr Pharmacist »

I've just purchased some turbo tie rods to put on my car.

I thought I had bought Lemforder, but am not sure now - is there any easy way to tell the Lemforders from the 'others'? Are they branded anywhere?

For the price they should be Lemsforders! but of they are not they are going back!

I bought from Porsche. Wasn't that ridiculous at the time. The Lemforder ones should come in a sealed bag with a lemforder sticker (with the owl) on the bag (or at least the Merc ones I had did).

On google the Lemforder part number if 025.315.505.583 whereas I think the Porsche part is 930.347.031.01. Is nothing stamped on them at all?

I didn't see anything stamped on them in the poor light of my garage last night.

I will double check but think I have the URO's so will send them back. Not happy that they are charging full whack for inferior goods!!

Actually this might help...looks like the owl logo appears as a triangle on the part...

Great work Dave!

Mine are lacking an owl so back they go!

The 911 ones I bought from GSF were in Lemfoerder branded bags too. Not checked if three's anything stamped on them.

Are the Lemforder tie rods available locally? My default for most things is the US but if I can get them here then that would be great

thanks

I was just about to order from type911 but Ill hold back till youve confirmed they are Lemforder. The website says so...

I might drop them a line to confirm

thanks

Yes the ones I got were lemforder.

I initially ordered others at the same price from another supplier assuming they would be as mentioned above, but they definitely weren't lemforder

aha

thanks perfect. Do these guys do anything else 914 related or just 911 parts that might x over?

thanks
