If there are only Chicom products availably for a certain product I buy the best of what is available. If there is a US/Chicom or any other country product I will buy the best and that is usually US made even if it's more money. I try to buy US as much as possible
...........easier said than done, unless one has a lot of time on their hands.....
Example I needed parts for my 98 it needed ball joints. I could have bought any top name brand and would have ended up with chicom parts but if you look for the Professional series they will most likely be US made and more money. It was not hard to decide or find since they were all listed on one page on Rock Auto.com. Bought the US made.
I did end up with a AC/Delco pitman arm for $9.95 Pro series and US Made. It was listed as one available discontinued line. Got the part and it is top quality.
I agree not easy but I try and what I buy usually lasts me a long time.
