I bought a pair of Moog torsion arms for a Chrysler 300. Lifetime warranty, made in China.
I bought a pair of Gabriel Ultra front struts for the same car. Lifetime warranty, made in China.
I put a replacement wheel bearing on a 2001 Dodge Neon. Lifetime warranty, made in China.
I could keep going, but I think you know where this is going...
Just my humble opinion, but here it is.......
China has just as much and just as good manufacturing capability as we ever had. They can make quality products as well as junk. They make us whatever and however we order it. If the importer wants cheap junk to sell at a high profit, that is what he gets. If companies like Gabriel, Moog, TRW, Fel-Pro, Delco, or whoever else orders a high quality product that must meet predetermined standards, I will assume that they get what they bargained for. How else could they offer long term warranties without going broke??
Please do not get me wrong. I am NOT defending the Chinese. Just offering what I must take as fact. It truly bothers me that so much of our manufacturing has gone to other countries. At the same time, it is pointless to become a "buy American" freak to the extreme. This too will come full circle in time, and manufacturing will leave China much the same as it has been doing here. Workers get a taste of consumer goods and they want more. Just like Japan. Remember when "made in Japan" was the big thing to avoid??

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
