It's funny people whining about china produced crap - that is how it works, someone designs something, they have it made, box it & sell it. To keep something in the range people will buy that cut corners, like china foundries. Americans, including many car owners are often cheap bastards. You get what you pay for. LOL

This guy nailed it:


The best part is the backyard wrenchers thinking they can now do it themselves. Hee hee.

This reminds me of the whining people do about DSE's stuff. They do all the R&D on their track proven parts, do manufacturing in the US and then price the product accordingly. Then people whine about "it doesn't cost that much to make that. I can get it on eBay for half that". Good luck with the eBay knock off control arms that are half price with poor quality welds. If the R&D $$ and quality manufacturing $$ is not recouped in the price then no one is gonna do any R&D.

Go ask SJ Sleeper how he likes offshore crap.
ABSOLUTELY. You get what you pay for. Want to cheap out and go imported on something? Then you run the risk of bad quality.
