Everything from China can't be bad.

I am not sure if I have used a Uro part or not. I know my upper control arms on my TD were cheap ones off ebay. Just noticed today that the balljoint boots on them are starting to crack really bad.. they are just over a year old

the fact is: chinese bearings are junk. there is nothing to debate on this fact. the metal is substandard, the machining is substandard. urodan, if you want your products to be considered anything but garbage, you will stop using any components made in china. taiwan and thailand are nearly as bad as mainland china, so that is not acceptable either. anyone who is not stupid will inspect products to determine if they are made in countries capable of producing parts to a reasonably high standard. sometimes we are forced to buy junk because there is no other part available. sometimes we are hoodwinked and the part is not marked so that we can determine country of origin. and finally, any company that would produce products in places like china is run by traitorous scum. sending jobs to china is one of the things that is killing america, and anyone sending production there to increase profits for greedy rich jerks deserves to be shot in the head as a traitor. can you tell i'm pissed?

Bravo.

My wife was pissed at my boss for hiring a call center in Brazil. She's been out of a job for a year. The call center gives 4 or 5 bodies for the price of one.

There is definitely some hoodwinking going on out there.
