I can't say anything specific about brake parts (yet) but virtually everything you buy today is made by Chinese slaves with virtually no quality control.

They make it so cheaply that the makers don't care how many free replacements they have to give away. It doesn't cost them anything.

Fuel pumps are crap for just about every vehicle I've bought one for in the last dozen years or so. Rubber parts are junk and disintegrate if you look at them sideways.

After two faulty fuel pumps for the AD last year - one straight out of the box, I had the original pump rebuilt. Works perfectly

I saved the master cylinder for the AD because I suspect the one I just installed will fail in a year or so. I figure I'll rebuild the old one or have it done. You could trell by looking at the new one that it was a POS. Rough flash on the casting, etc.
