While TRW may have the mercedes star on it are you sure that is OE? My old lower ball joint boots were made of rubber, the new ones whether moog or lemforder were a clear polyurethane. Both the moog and lemforder had a mercedes part number on them, the moog also said TRW on it but I'm not sure if both or either of them had stars. The pure fact that the Lemforder uses the Mercedes style clamp and the Moog uses some cheap imitation which doesn't work half as well makes me want Lemforder, the fact that the Lemforder uses double the grease (same) and comes with locknut makes it even better. The mercedes style clamp is annoying putting on, takes two vice grips and maybe a screwdriver to get on. The imitation Moog clamp went on with no tools! (it also came off with no tools, at least this happened before putting it back on the car!)
