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. |

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. |
