Replace stock Harmonic Balancer?

Made in China does always mean bad quality. Made in USA doesn't always mean good quality.

There doesn't really seem to be economical options that aren't made in China. Unless someone can give me a better option then I don't really know what else to do.

I don't know if any place around me that will refurbish the old one.

Never said any of that. However, the fact does remain that since there is such a huge influx of Chinese made parts, it stands to reason there will be more bad parts. It's just simple math. A sudden increase in American made parts would yield the same result.
