I used to work for GKN back in 2011 in the Roxboro, NC facility where the shafts are fully assembled before being shipped directly to the OEM warehouses, I would recommend their parts especially knowing how they are made and all the rigorous quality checks they go through.
Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated information. Hat's off to you for working in the manufacturing industry.
