When my stuff from Laurel Mtn was on back order, they said it came from a factory in Cleveland. I can't back that up though.

Laurel advertises their suspension parts as "Made in the Americas". This is USA, Canada, and Mexico. The only "asian" parts are the KYB's, and they are Japanese...

Ordered mine from Laurel mountain. The upper and lower control arms are made in USA. Now the strut rods are asian parts. I think some of the bushings were canadian made too.

LLM offeres 2 types of control arms. Are yours the 2tone ones or solid black? I have the black ones and they are Mexican. Strut rods werent even in the kit when I bought it, so perhaps that has changed. The bushings are mostly Canadian.

Some of my Mustangs Plus suspension components were Made in America (not "the Americas").
