Title: MFG in China, Hit or miss item quality wise.
Product review: Decided to try and cheap out and get these for a 2002 passat gls wagon with a blown out CV boot. EMPI has now moved the production of these axles to China and I am a bit skeptical about the quality. They are also a SOLID axle opposed to the hollow OEM ones. I have head stories of people with new ones that are not balanced and vibrations get worse after installation. For me, I would call these a hit or miss item. You may get one that works fine, you may have to go through 5 just to get one that is ok. Also noted, the boot material felt stiffer and cheaper than the OEM one.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
