07 Acura. Found the Beck Arnley rear sway bar links at a good price and picked them up to check them out. The front ones were Sankei 555 but these rear ones say “made in turkey” on the box and nothing really on the label. I notice an “A33” stamped on the link itself. Any idea who might manufacture these and if the Turkey made parts or good to use? Or should i return for something else? I know the Moog ones are a lot beefier than these, but im not sure that automatically means better quality
Beck Arnley sway bar end links made in Turkey. Good?

Most likely made by Disa/Deeza 
Rock Auto actually has Sankei 555 sway bar links listed under the actual 555 name. Those are of course good
CTR is good because they include a nut on the other end instead of that stupid hex key that strips. Moog and Beck sometimes rebox CTR. While Rock Auto doesn't sell CTR under its own name, Partsgeek carries them, and CTR also sells directly on Amazon (look for CTR Auto Parts as the seller. It will say sold and shipped from CTR Auto Parts). CTR is a Korean OE supplier.

No idea really, but that design looks like the ones on the front of my Impreza and the plastic cups cast into the link, falls out, long before there is any actual wear. So there is a improved different looking design available that doesn't do that, which reminds me I need to order some.
My one Moog purchase for a sway bar link, failed the fastest of any I've ever bought, so now I just buy whatever is second cheapest and they seem to last for a few years. At least on my cars, the links are easy to replace so I don't spend much on them hoping they got for 10 years as the car will be scrap before then.

I have a white box ball joint on my '12 Legacy, and 4 years later it's still good; COO is Turkey.
All the ones for my car look like these pretty much. Cept the beefier moogs or the sankei. I could get the sankei thro napa i believe for 30-40 bucks a piece.
Rock Auto has the Sankei for $12 each, so even with shipping, both will be less than the price of one at Napa
Im talking about the rear. Ive got the front both sankei. I didnt see any sankei rear on RARock Auto has the Sankei for $12 each, so even with shipping, both will be less than the price of one at Napa
Rock Auto has both rear sway bar links for your 2007 TSX. In the photos, one has a red tag, and one has a blue tag
SL6285LWH and SL6285RWH

Deeza front sway bar links (longies) from Turkey -first time for that COO- worked and held up well.
I'd buy again.
However, does anyone know that country's history of producing automotive parts?

Meyle lower control arms and bushing for the BMW E46 came from Turkey. The E46 community thinks they are/were great.
oops sorry
Some of the other brands list the same part numbers for both the TSX and TL (and also the Accord), though Sankei 555 appears to have separate part numbers for each car. The Beck/Arnley links you have are listed for all 3 cars.
Disa is an OE supplier, and they also supply some aftermarket name brands. In the early 2000s, Disa sold parts in the US under their own name Deeza, but only for a few years. Here is Disa's site
Ahh yea those Sankei might could work. Ill probably just use these Beck Arnleys tho. Hopefully theyll hold up well. If the sankei didnt id be out the shipping cost if i returned themoops sorry
