Keith, it's been my experience that Taiwan makes very good auto parts. Light years ahead of China. I think just about any old car & truck parts vendor will confirm that.

I don't know if any Moog parts are USA-made these days. OSHA, EPA, and insurance costs have simply killed American manufacturing. I had a huge foundry customer in the Midwest that shut down operations because it was virtually impossible to meet EPA regulations without raising prices sky high.

1969 C10 (not the current one) that I bought in the early 1980s. Paid $1200; sold for $1500 a few years later. Just a hint at the appreciation that was coming.
