I dropped off my Viggen at the local Saab Indy tonight because some non-routine maintenance that I was planning to DIY can't be done with only ramps. I was talking to the two mechanics and they mentioned that they had bought some rebuilt units that didn't last.
I asked if there was any tell tale marks or labels that identified the units as rebuilt. They said the clues were age, sometimes scratched up labels, but always a too glossy paint job.
I checked out what I received yesterday after returning home. It has the typical matte black wrinkle paint.
