Putting an item in a weekend warrior / rock crawler may not be a good test for a diff as its not getting the constant heat build up that high speed gives. There is my 6 cents worth!!!!! Lol
Well said bud...

The Chinese thing again. This is becoming a bit irritating. The majority of products made these days (not just cars etc...) are made in China or another of the Asian countries. It all comes down to QC and the companies importing these items following the said countries standards. Whether it be Australia or any other country. As long as the standards are met, the product is generally good. There will always be a failure somewhere along the product line.
Just my opinion.
In the words of a Dhuck "QUACK".

Yes, but what I was trying to say earlier was that not every Chinese company has good QC or the original drawings. It's pot luck sometimes between manufacturers.

Chinese only make crap if that was the spec they were given, or had to meet a price. Aussies love a bargain, its cheap for a reason.
They are also world leaders in technology and manufacturing processes, they build rockets for satellite deployment etc.
What ever they try to do they can not beat a shonky manufacturer who flouts the rules passing of their crap for a better product, that can happen in any country.

It's all good and well to buy Chinese stuff, but I still ask for Japanese made bearings.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Agreed, can't beat them for quality. Japanese or Timken.

I am running ARB lockers front and rear and have a few mates that have run chinese and arb lockers in fairly well modded weekend toys they have had several chinese failures due to "abuse" in fact the very same "abuse" that the ARB lockers copped with no damage. We all abuse our 4x4s to some extent otherwise we would always take the chicken track. I use mine primarily for hunting and at no time do I think it might be nice to be broken down in the back corner of a 100,000+acre property due to some inferior crap letting me down. You might also note that most farmers in the more remote regions drive Toyota not great walls.
You get what you pay for its as simple as that, I am also a boilermaker and have repaired plenty of crap that was bought in china because of the attractive price. Note that most of the Chinese crap was brand new and needed to be repaired/modified before it could even be put into service.
