To me it seems most stuff you buy now is junk. I hate to say it, but I've seen some junk with "made in the USA' on it as well. I put a new USA made flexplate on my daily driver and found out the ring gear was welded on crooked. I can only get about 3 zips out of the zipper on the USA made safety vests I wear at work, before they start coming apart at the bottom. I've also had some made in China stuff that was decent quality. I guess it's not the country of origin anymore as it is the quality control end checks that are done (not done) before the part goes out the door.
It would be nice if we had a section on this forum dedicated to user reviews and ratings of various parts.
