No, DPH or Conitech as I recall. They appear to be the same construction and materials. I also compared to other non-Audi discounters and they were cheaper, just as they were for the axles. And I realize that is why they are cheaper.

That said, What is an OEM gasket? Audi, Subaru, NAPA, etc... do not manufacture gaskets for the most part or axles, wheel bearings, thermostats, etc... for that matter.

If AutohausAZ has done the work to source/cross reference parts from the true OEMs instead of dealing with 3 levels of distribution, shipping and packaging, more power to them IMHO and more $s in my pocket.

I am not suggesting you buy body panels or ECUs or anything else without knowing what you are buying, and all their parts are clearly labeled as to manufacturer. Just recommending them as a vendor worth working with.
