Most axles from local auto parts are made in China with questionable quality.

That was the brand GKN, one boot is febi the other gkn....now the quality of replacements (axles and the like) being degraded because they are made in eastern Europe or china or whatever makes me think don't the parts suppliers have any quality control in place and adhere to various ISOs etc?
