Located in Tecumseh, MI, ididit manufactures top quality, American made steering columns for the automotive aftermarket

looks like there is an error on the amazon page. or it could be rules on how amazon lists things, if the country of manufacture of more than half of the PARTS is china it may require listing as china made. it could also be a cheap copy being sold as an ididit part. who knows.


and on the subject, the guidance given by the LVVTA in 2013 details the problems with unsafe columns coming mostly from china, even US company CPP.
