VIEROL Reviews 5

Picked up a Vaico control arm bushing for the '03 E500. Was having trouble and spending loots of time pressing it in. It wouldn't insert and instead crumpled at several points and completely buckled. Appears to be made of a softer metal than the Lemforder I typically use. The old one appeared to be still be in good condition so I pressed it right in, no issue. Kept its shape and didn't talk back. I bought this part thinking "German quality", but it appears one gets what one pays for.

I recently purchased the ACKOJA air filter on Autodoc for my Hyundai Elantra, and I must say, I’m disappointed with its quality. Right out of the box, it felt cheaply made and poorly designed. It comes with a sleeve-type edge, which doesn’t inspire confidence when it comes to fit or filtration efficiency.

The sleeve-style edge seems like a cost-cutting measure and just doesn’t provide the secure, snug fit you'd expect from an air filter. It leaves me questioning how well it seals the intake and whether it's allowing unfiltered air into the engine. That’s not something I’m willing to compromise on.

For something as critical as an engine air filter, I expected a more robust design. I won't be buying from ACKOJA again and would strongly recommend others look elsewhere for a better-made, more reliable option.
