OP aren't you worried someone may rat you out? You just gave away a lot of damning info and then Gave your locale.

Edit- don't worry, won't be me. Don't even work there.

Seeing as how Javelin first posted this back in 2014 and no longer works for Napa, I don't think he's too worried.

I got a heck of a deal on Altrom stuff for my Mercedes while I worked at Napa. Akebono ceramic pads all around were like $25 or so per axle.

Still don't want Chinese or Taiwanese parts, though.

Don't hold me to it, but I want to say that a good deal of NCP stuff was manufactured in China. I too no longer work there, so take this with a grain of salt.

They used to be made by somebody else, but they've been Federal-Mogul since 1/14.

I haven't worked there in a year!

Ah I didn't know you left there!

Then a general question then, would anybody trust Federal Mogul parts? It'll be going on my daily driver/autocross car, so I'm expecting to replace control arms every 3 years or so. I don't want yearly failures, though.

In reply to MINIzguy:

Federal Mogul manufacturers Moog, Fel-Pro, Wagner, Anco, and a ton of other stuff. A lot of it is made in the USA. I have used numerous FM parts on all of my cars without issue.
