That's an opinion, every man is entitled to one.
I was looking for some data which is what I support my opinions on.

I wonder what the root cause of the failures is. These parts are not
rocket science, probably poor process control during induction heat treat of
the bearing surfaces. I'm sure that controlling that is difficult&
critical for long life.

that's really the crux of the seduction. a new chinese was costing bimby
from between 55 and 100 dollars and was selling for $159. rebuilds are
running about 150 to 200 and selling for like 200 to 250. non chinese new
were like 250 to 300 for bimby, but i don't even know if you can still get
those as the cheap chinese ones have really come to dominate the market.
worldpac has been pushing cheap chinese merchandise under the labels of
"feq" and "worldsource 1" and this stuff is just nasty. i believe that
the
feq axles (the one's in question in the recall) were being sold to bimby
for
$55 each. how much then do you surmise worlpac has in them? let's say
$45. it is suspicious that worldpac can source a new axle shaft, have it
shipped to them from china and then have it shipped to you, all for $45.
in
fact, it makes no sense at all.
i don't know how many feq's the bimby had sold and how many of the cheap
ones sold were something of higher quality chinese. i do know that feq
was
a disaster waiting to happen, but the seduction of high sales at high
margins is too much for most people to pass up

What is the price differential between the Chinese axleshafts and the
German ones? Not that I'd put Chinese parts on a 115 chassis Mercedes or
anything but I'm curious.

turns out those cheap chinese axle shafts that you guys have been
purchasing
are being recalled for safety concerns. I'm glad I resist the temptation
of
300% profit and don't sell that kind of product. i think a certain
vendor
sells those every single day, but i'm sure he doesn't want to worry you
guys
about something as minor as a chinese axle shaft coming apart.
i can't emphasize it enough -- stay away from the chinese junk! it is
only
being sold because even priced much lower than original quality products,
the profits are still astronomical.
