Made in USA parts at Autozone

[MikeB]

Read about these Autozone Duralast parts on a forum last week, so decided to check it out. Sure enough, made in USA inner tie rod ends for only $12.99 each.

Hard to believe it's legit, but I have to try them. And they do have a lifetime warranty.

Good luck hope they work for ya, ain't had Duralast stuff last for any amount of time yet, especially alternators and starters, warranty is good but damn, replacing them every couple months or so gets old..

I'm thinking the box it's in was possibly made in the USA.....

After taking a second look, I see the Federal Mogul stamping....that's a good sign at least. On the side of the big end look for a wide forging mark vs a thin cast one-if it has it, then it's a stout part!

I been fooled by that before, open the box and right on the part says made in China, but it says Federal Mogul so it may be a good part..

I had one the other way around, box said Made in Korea, opened it up, and part had Made in Canada cast on it.

Yep, that happens every now and then too..

Kinda sucks that we're even having this conversation about American-designed parts for American made trucks.

Yes it does, hopefully things will change soon..

I picked up a set of brake shoes from AZ for my Durango, and while the first set were wrong (not entirely sure how but they were) the second set were fine, and they were made in USA! Not bad huh?

That had to be a surprise, lol..
