I've bought 5 in the last 3 years, none leak. All fit and look perfect. Now, if you use the chrome type....good luck! Jeff

You do get what you pay for...I don't care what it is. Sucks now don't it? I'd get them off of there before they cause more damage. I wonder what your bearings look like?

I don't see how the places selling the cheap chinese knock off's are gonna stay in business? Sure some of the stuff is OK, but what about all the stuff that isn't? How long until people figure out it's best to spend more the first time and not have to replace it so often? I don't see how the sellers of the junk can sleep at night. Or maybe they don't know any better until they have ton's of failures and figure it out that way, letting there customers bear the R&D

Stop leak can fix a leaky thermostat housing but
stop leak aint gonna help a junk damper... get that
thing off there before you have real problems

how does a buyer of any part know it is poor quality- unless someone tells him or he buys it ? i know years ago moparts had a place that you can read re bad or low quality vendors - maybe moparts should start that up again - this web site is the go 2 web site for mopar people ==

I was, WAS going to buy a waterpump housing, and pump from them, then I talked with a local mopar guy here who said they are crapo, Showed me the pile of dlashing he knocked out of the inside of the lower hose bung, it was terrible. said he had flow issues with it. Id say so, looked like huge aluminum bugers stuck in there. I passed and bought one from mancini, I paid about $100 more for it, but I know its not junk. 440 source is a great source for a headache, just my  Kasey
