Ha ha you are probably right on the island off China! It is sad that finding some brake pads made in the US is such an oddity that I has to make a post! Hate to admit these are going on my wife's Toyota that was made in Japan, guess I am a factor in the loss of US manufacturing industry.
Exactly, I bought Moog ball joints for my Ford. The box said, "Made in the USA", if you studied the outside of the ball joints really close, they were stamped, "Made in China". Should be false advertising, but they do it.
