No, Scantech parts are not made in China they are made in Sweden. Not all Scantech parts are bad, but people have a bad experience with one of their parts and thus Scantech is bad. Myself sort of included.
I had a Scantech heater control valve as others have had and it failed in less than two years. So bad on the heater valve. On the other hand i've had Scantech lower a-arms installed on a couple 900s and they are fine. From all outward appearences they look identical to the oem units.
Scantech ball joints one burst in less than a year, went back to oem. Coolant hoses, it's a toss up depending on which one you are after. I just received two Scantech upper coolant hoses for no a/c that I had to order from England. They were the only supplier for this part I could find.
I would say choose carefully, some good, some bad.
