I thought this was interesting so I'll share. I broke the front sway bar link on my truck (Dodge ram) so I bought a new one at the auto parts store. ($92 but that's another story).
Anyhow, the link itself was made in Canada, the rubber bushings and nuts were from the USA. The little washer things were made in "China or Taiwan" and the cardboard box was made in Canada.
It's bizarre to me that it is worth it to get two little washer spacer things from a different country than the other stuff. And that you can logistically put all the bits and pieces into one package cheaply enough to make it worth it.
Anyhow, fascinating.
