What auto parts have you bought lately that were junk?

I recently helped install a front end suspension upgrade kit from corvette-america ,in my opinion its component parts were just barely functional and the parts were of VERY low quality, the grease seals all the ball joints had flaws, didn,t fit or function correctly and would not install easily due to dimensional differences from OEM parts

I purchased a dash cover from , mid America corvette, awhile back, that shrived up in the Florida sun in a matter of days making it totally useless, I should have returned it but following the instructions that came with it it was glued to the car, making removing it without further damage very difficult

Junk... A crankshaft maybe?

Kidding. :lol:

I've been blessed by good parts overall. Tools however... I've had two pullers explode on me. Two timing light pick-ups... melted. Two flaring tool shafts bent. One cracked 5/8 6-point deep socket.
