It is made in Turkey, from Rock Auto. I guess I am sure it will serve but does anyone have any experience with it? It is arriving in the mail. That is Suspensia.

Wating...waiting...waiting. Probably the part will arrive tomorrow.Shipping time is pretty quick with Rock. In the meantime, I borrowed a tool to "pop" the existing ball joints loose. No more pickle forks. Actually I own one of these tools but lost to me in real time. It is in the bus somewhere.(Once I found my six-month AA medal then, there.) But mine is a working bus, although dressed down as it is it attracts lowballers--or buzzards from rust belt states!)
I happen to have heard in the 60's bad reports of anything Turkish made (Turk mali). Simple products like a flashlight yet not functional. Those days are gone forever--over along time ago. But if I pick up the new part and find that it weighs an ounce to a pound to the old part I am not going to install it. I will use it only if'n I can. So the Suspensia mounts....

Only thing I buy from Turkey is leather goods, same quality as Italian but less expensive.

There are both good metal and rubber compounds coming out of Turkey in 2023

I got the part and installed it. It sppears to be the same weight and quality as the original. So I am satisfied so far. There were terrible flies out when I did the work. II want to do more but the flies are terrible.
