I will use chinesium parts if they are super easy to replace and not mission critical. I had a wheel sensor go bad coincidentally after I replaced the bearing on that corner. I figured either the tone ring difference didn't pair well with the old sensor or I damaged it by leaving the sensor in the knuckle when I used the slide hammer to pull the hub.

Since I wasn't sure if perhaps the abs module bond wires were at fault I bought the cheapest one I could find on Amazon with decent reviews. It was 1/3 or 1/4 the price of OEM and I figured if it even worries works a week or month it can help determine not the module.

So the thing has been working for half a year and I would definitely try that brand again. But I have high torque Impact so pulling a tire is literally a one minute job, you have to determine how much work odd the cut off for using a sketchy part.

OEM only for water pump, thermostat, cam crank knock sensors. (And issue boot; determined the hard way)

I will use copy cat reservoir out of convenience of supply but genuine not much more pricey so best to wait the days and get oem if you have the time.
