My customer had no clue when he bought his Backdraft.

I don't know when the car you are speaking of was built. But the cars have new hubs/bearings, while yes the spindle itself is reman. That's how it has BMW suspension

I don't think any company other than Backdraft can meet the pricepoint for what you get. Perhaps that is why there are no other companies in the price range?

New car 2010, came out of Ohio. Not trying to start a pissing contest, but this was my experience with this brand. The car now lives in San Diego with a new owner.

As a frame of reference that would be a car bought at the $31,900 or $28,900 price tag. In that era it fell on the dealer to inspect those components and replace as necessary. Yes, we ate a lot of those invoices to ensure the product rolling out our doors was up to expectations.
