Thats made me laugh because (mentioned in a prev post) a few years ago, a leading Victorian suspension company had a worn out ball joint from a newish model car which did not yet have aftermarket replacements available. They sent the worn out unit off to their manufacturers in China for assessment.
A couple of weeks later 12 samples arrived of the new ball joint.... looked perfect copies, even down to being 'worn out', can be very literal people when translations are involved.... shoulda sent em a new one.....
