There’s not a supply chain running that isn’t a global one. All part of the game of driving cost out, making end assemblies cost efficient, and delivering a competitively priced product with acceptable levels of quality.
Our definitions of “acceptable” and “quality” differ from many consumers, but there’s sometimes a hard truth I’ve run into where junk made elsewhere is as good or better than when it was built here. The challenge is that it takes trial and error or someone else’s experience to know that before committing our own precious dollars.

@AgDieseler is 100% correct.
Years ago, we built the 22k axles for PB/KW and all the castings came from India. Quality was excellent.
When problems showed up they were corrected and there were almost no repeat failures. Only drawback is lead time and customs.

Yeah, SVL is the "Spicer Value Line." AFAIK, the "better" Spicer stuff is still US made.
U-joints are even more obvious because for most sizes Spicer have the "round" body, while SVL looks like all the other brands.

Spicer needs to teach them how to put the label on right-side up.
