   Speaking from experience in dealing with cheap parts, go with the more   
   expensive trusted part.  Especially when the work involved to replace the part   
   is extensive.     
      
   I was burned by "Made In China" wheel bearings that I installed in my Monte   
   Carlo years ago.  They lasted just a month or so over (1) year before falling   
   apart.     
      
   After re-replacing them, went with a "Made In USA" Timken bearing, and been   
   going strong for 3+ years and counting.   
      
   Costs about $40 more than made in China garbage, but that is a small price   
   when you consider it takes hours each time to replace.
