Yep. They will save every penny they can. Again though that isn't a parts manufacturer just making what they want it is the spec provided to them by the customer. Doesn't matter where or who made it it was made to the spec they were given. Outsourcing isn't the culprit the OEM reduction in what they ask for at the price point they want to pay is.
