Where in the article does it say the Italian parts are substandard? As
I read it it's an assembly problem (shimming and bolt torque) which

Yes. The defects are in the assembly, not the hardware itself (as I
understood
the article). Thus, unqualified or careless workers, inadequate QC, etc.,
which, unfortunately, is exactly what I'd expect from an average Italian
supplier.

With what have Italian Companies supplied you over the past few years? In
what way were they defective?
