I have zero experience with this company but man this a helluva price. I like the fact an image of the actual part is pictured, the factory Mitsubishi part # is cited, and the parts advertised on Amazon. I may just have to jump on this too. I'd say go for it and report back your evaluation.

Not everything made in China is garbage in fact most everything is made there these days almost all of the parts you get from parts stores is all Chinese .

There is a $46 difference between JNZ's list price of $81.00 plus shipping than the $35.95 Febest unit. At that price you get nearly two for one. And as Chris said, not everything made in China is garbage.

will you be changing out the bearing yourself or bringing it to a shop and paying them to do it. if your paying them to do it i would go with JNZ because thats like a 400$ job to have the driveshaft rebuilt. i did mine myself and i still bought the JNZ stuff. you dont want to have to pay to do it again and you dont want to have to do it yourself again. not to mention when you do this you will need to change the u-joint out and that is something i would only buy from JNZ. you can get something close at the autoparts store, but there is a chance it will shatter on you and if you do bring it to a shop they might not know this and they might get the wrong u-joint if your not supplying them.

^^ This x100 ( or times $400 depending on your thoughts ).

Why oh why is this debate brought up anymore? YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Step over a dollar to grab a dime IMO.

^ i feel the same way. although sometimes in a pinch being cheap isn't bad, but with something like this you only want to do it one time.
