Hey Brent, right-freakin-on brother.

#1 It's a wheel cylinder, cast iron with some holes and machining done.

#2 Since the part has such a simple function, is "Made in the USA" really THAT
drastic? Will buying it cost you your job? Will it make your car worth 1/2 it's current value?

#3 Does the supplier deserve to make a profit...so he can stay in buisness...and provide the goods and services his base needs?

#4 If you were Thomson, would you scheme to defraud all of us worthless old car people in advance of selling product?

There's nothing sinister going on there. Wheel cylinders have been imported LOOONNGG before it was unpopular to do so. If it fits, looks new, does what you want it to, I can't see how you're hurt. Look around your house. Unless you're one of those who only have things over 30-40yrs old it's full of imported product purchased by choice. Just sayin...
