It is my understanding that Orieleys went through a restructuring period and are now using some different vendors. I use them exclusevley and never had any problems with their parts untill about 2 years ago. YES!!! I have many many many parts that have held up but have had a string of bad ones recently. I have had 3 power steering gear boxes start leaking or stop working properly from different vehicles, LOTS AND LOTS of electrical parts go bad early...heck....last week I got a bad power steering pump, cam shaft possition sensor and another 3 month old Orieleys steering box stop working. I am now stuck because they have my core now so I have to keep going back. They offer $20 back for the inconvenience or to pay the mechanic to cjhange it again if you have a recipt from a shop.

Buy what you want from where you want....This is just my experience with them.
