Maybe the counterfeit parts will have lower failure rate. ��

Procomp was the first to get busted by this and lost in court. This was years ago.

Anyway, I agree that MSD should get busted for counterfeiting their old selves too.

They have only received 2 counterfeit units for repair? I'd take my chances with the counterfeit. Just sayin...

A counterfeit moog pitman arm was installed on my gmc 2500 and snapped after 25,000 miles. only gm/delco for me now when it comes to steering. Luckily it was at parking speeds.
