PCV Diaphragm Repair Kit

Has anyone just replaced the diaphragm instead of replacing the whole PCV unit? Way cheaper alternative.

I'm not a die hard OEM parts person, but theres a 0% chance I'd use a Dorman (their quality is piss poor) diaphragm.

any other option?

Not that I know of, find the best possible price on OEM?

Dorman's whole game is to find common failure OEM parts, come up with a cheap knockoff part (usually without solving the initial cause of failure), and sell tons of them through local chain stores like AutoZone, Advance, etc.

They typically don't work for long, if they even work at all.

Do you know for sure the oem diaphragm is ripped?

Not at all I just found this while looking for rotors. I though it'd be cheaper than paying 150.00 bucks for one. but FCP has the oem you'd get lifetime warranty on.

It's my understanding that these cars dont have as much of an issue with parts and such, but idk.

Amazon, DAP, other sites that sell the whole unit for much cheaper.
