I just bought some rears from RockAuto, but haven't installed them yet. They're Raybestos brand, and stamped "Made in USA". I haven't had any problems with Raybestos stuff in the past. Good luck.

Went thru the same thing. NAPA cylinders can be hit or miss, USA made or China junk. I just bought 1/2 dozen USA made from Carquest. Gonna stock up...

If you can get the kits why not just rebuild them?I have done these many times and have had more problem with new ones then the ones I rebuilt.

Since the company that provides Napa United and Raybestos shut down all their US and Canadian plants within the last few years and started putting Chinese trash in their boxes, if you find any made in USA ones, grab them and stash them away if you don't need them just now.

My old cylinders were stamped "Lockheed".Probably should have kept them...
