Are you wondering what OEM parts are? OEM, or original equipment manufacturer, are parts made by the manufacturer. In this case, that’s Chevrolet. They are built using the same materials as the original parts that you’re replacing in your Chevrolet vehicle. Aftermarket parts can sometimes be cheaper than OEM Chevy parts and GM parts, but they are usually cheaper in multiple senses of the word.
