Fact: Most parts on any vehicle are built by aftermarket companies and purchased by car companies to assemble vehicles and sell as service replacement parts. The very same parts are often available as aftermarket brands at a lower price. Another fact is that the OEM part may fit a variety of vehicles, with different part numbers for each application. This is because there are slight design differences for each application, but the aftermarket offering will have all the requirements covered with one part number.
