The failures have already started. Last month, Nobel International (NOBL), a maker of laser-welded steel panels used in the Detroit Three's car and truck bodies, filed for Chapter 11.

  • $63.75

Also in this beaten-down group: Lear (LEA), which produces seat systems and electronic components in 36 countries. Even after a very sharp rally last week on a Buy recommendation by an automated statistical-analysis trading system, it closed Friday at $2.50. Whether the bears or the automated stockpicker have a better fix on the company's prospects might become clearer Thursday, when the company is scheduled to hold a conference call with analysts.

Patel says that of the publicly traded major suppliers, those whose stocks are trading below $5 are considered to be at most risk. That group includes Lear (LEA), Stoneridge (SRI), Dana (DAN), ArvinMeritor (ARM) and American Axle (AXL), the last of which gets roughly three-quarters of its sales from GM.

  • $49.54
  • -0.78%
  • $49.00

Among the stronger companies is the largest North American supplier, Canada's Magna International (MGA), which makes everything from power trains to roofs and bodies. Despite a first-quarter loss, it is in talks to buy a stake in Opel, GM's German unit. However, a sudden run-up in the stock -- from about 20 in early March to the high 30s now -- makes it look pricey. And Standard & Poor's has put Magna on its credit watch list, with negative implications.

Also on S&P's watch list: Johnson Controls (JCI), which supplies seats, doors, panels and consoles to every major global car maker, has $2 billion in liquidity and is well-diversified; Cummins Engine (CMI), a major force in diesel engines; and TRW Automotive (TRW), which is half-owned by the Blackstone Group (BX). Chrysler's bankruptcy filings show that it owes Johnson Controls $50.3 million; Cummins, $44 million; and TRW, about $5 million.
