Jeremiah, with the Internet, this type of 'change' is outed much sooner vs if ever
I've learned to pay heed to folks like you as my filters. There are others that
I'll not... ;)
An example is MOOG HD steering linkages/ball joints
Used to be my go to product, but after my last experience with them...found that
MOOG has been sold and the new owners cheapened their cost structure by going
off shore...China
Not to say the Chinese can't make it to the old spec...but the new owner's bean
counters also cheapened their spec
Betcha the fall out happens to line up, date wise, with them going
off shore...
Good to know and note that I'm going Blue Ox on my next WD Hitch system
