This is a little after the fact but has the quality of aftermarket parts increased or are "we" still the quality control for these companies. They expect us to report to them regarding problems and issues with parts while the cost of these parts continue to increase.
How many times can you afford to do the same job $$$, How many times do we have to report problems, sending things back for warranty $$$.
From what I have seen this is a full time part time job, guess the only cure is to use OE.
Does this problem exists everywhere and if so what are the components that are failing in your field.
I am looking forward for input to this frustrating, ongoing problem.
