My experiences reinforce everything in this thread so far. I have been searching out parts for suspension on our '99 9-5 2.3lpt and found that for one part there is no source but China - unless I could shop all the parts rooms in the country for old stock. There are very high quality Chinese manufacturers, but when the buyer says what the selling price needs to be, the manufacturer meets the target and quality often suffers. I was without a SAAB for about 8 years, and in the last two years I've relied a lot on this group and others to get a better idea of the "main chance" in getting quality parts. For an Acura and a Honda in our family I use almost exclusively OEM (and when identifiable, the Honda branded part for the Acura is usually 20 - 50% cheaper). And of course some of those fail too.
