    Going to replace my shocks, most likely with Bilstein 4600's, front and rear.

    Last week helped my BIL replace some pads and rotors on one of his vehicles and
    the parts came from Detroit Axel/Amazon. Seemed fine and install was easy, no issues.

    Anyone here ever used their suspension parts, specifically shocks. Prices are good
    when you compare to brand name products, just curious as to how the quality might
    be.

    I think DA are the types of parts you use to sell a vehicle to a newly minted enemy, not use and keep/drive yourself...

    Detroit axle also does remans on steering racks that many use here. I am not familiar with their shocks and struts though.

    I ordered a pair of rear shocks and got 2 different sizes o_O Took them off but never bothered to return them. They're in the backyard somewhere preventing a specific patch of weeds in the shape of shocks from growing.
