DO we know for a fact the Chinese bearings are poorly made? Does anyone have any real world use to report? I have some I am going to use. These bearings are made to ISO 9000 spec. This is an international standard for manufactures, SO why wouldn't that be as good as the other bearing manufactures? Are we sticking our nose in the air over nothing? The European parts manufactures do not seem to want to make the parts for our old cars.
What will really blow you away is the amount of VW parts now being made in China. Do a Google and see what comes up. I was amazed. |

In my business (hardcore-aerospace), ISO 9000 certification meant one thing:
"Document what your business does", then "Do what your documentation says".....Period. We called it "Say what you do, then do what you say". It was merely a mechanism to show that you had documented processes and that you followed them. I didnt matter if your documentation told you to do something STUPID, if you stuck to it, you get certified. Stu |
