This doesn't sound too good.
"JLR is their largest customer for precision parts including cast and forged suspension, engine, and transmission components".

Ouch. The value of them may start to go up. The manufacturer seems to be "for sale". I'm not sure the price, but I doubt (hope) that JLR wouldn't buy it to preserve their supply operations. It's all a matter of price vs. how long to shift suppliers.

They’ll just start making suspension components out of pot metal till they can find a new aluminium supplier. C’mon, guys, it’s JLR — something’s got to be wrong with it when you pick it up.
