I got a couple of good clean used ones and rebooted them for the VW, best way t do these without buying new if the original joints are toast.
I have used Cardone Select, which are new parts. They appear to be fairly good quality, fit perfect and so far after about 40k miles have performed great. They were not made in a China, but that may have changed over the past several years.
