@LR Techniker were they the HD ones? I’ve not had any issues and they are solid rubber, no hydro bushing.

I’m not a fan of Meyle in general. Not a high quality brand. I had two Meyle HD front lower control arms fail on my BMW. Only used them cause Lemforder was unavailable.

If the HD are solid, then they were definitely not HD. I knew ours had failed because the fluid blew out and made a squishing sound when you hit the brakes or hit a bump. LOL
