I have seen a decrease in quality of auto parts that are not OE type. Because what is your choice? You don’t have the clout of an OEM to force them to do better.

OE rack boots last pretty much life of the car. Ford, GM and others would drop them as a supplier if they didn’t.

Shame on FR for selling low quality boots.

Building 838 last spring was eye opening. The number of faulty new parts was shocking. ERA stood behind parts that their suppliers won’t.
