I only use OEM suppliers, and have seen the proof plenty of times that you 
get what you pay for. About 25% of the time the Chinese stuff isn't even the 
right size/mounting points. Now, if chinese is the only thing available, 
then I understand. Otherwise, stay away!

BTW, Moog is a quality brand, from my experience.

Just my .02,
Tony
