I'm replacing the front suspension, steering rack and pinion, probably the rotors and pads. Who has better parts? It looks like Detroit Axle has lower prices and they both offer limited lifetime warranty. I'm not positive but they probably both supply parts manufactured in China so I'm not sure which could be better and hope somebody on here has real world experience with these parts and suppliers so I can know who better to deal with.

Thanks for any helpful info.

A lot of us shop Rock Auto.
Moog is a decent brand for Suspension stuff.
Also, many of us use Powerstop Brakes, (I do on multiple vehicles,) and they're available thru Amazon.

Just be careful with some parts on Amazon though....they're not immune to counterfeits....but Powerstop is OK.

On another thread in this forum, I saw bunches of people saying stay away from rockauto. I have bought from them before but it's difficult to trust someone you can't get on the phone. I'm not sure but you might not even be able to email them. I like to be able to get a live person on the phone if I have questions before buying or a problem with a purchase that I had no luck through a website chat or email.

Parts that will last as long as original or longer. Good price. Lifetime warranty. Prefer everything or most from one place instead of buying some here, some there, etc.

I hear your concern about the lack of customer service staff at rockauto, but I've made over 100 orders there, and I've only had 1 or 2 that weren't right. I highly recommend using them if the price is right.

Detroit Axle is what you buy when you are selling your car to your worst enemy or like living dangerously.

GM OE for the win for me. Often times, Moog CK Series and ACDelco Gold/Professional are literally the same parts.

You get what you pay for man.

Do mevotech tax and moon sell direct from their own websites? I’m looking now for mevotech but not yet finding the website of their name. Gonna check moot prices too but I suppose anything the manufacturer lists on their websites will be cheaper through rockauto. Really wish rockauto had phone and chat options.

Detroit Axle is the worst. I purchased a rack and pinion. They sent me a bad part. They checked it out after I sent it back and said " I'm sorry the part was defective" Then tried to charge me to have another part shipped. After arguing with them about a part that I only just received, they agreed to send another. Keep in mind I have a warranty and only had the part for 2 weeks. After getting a tracking number I noticed the parts not moving. This was a week after they said the new part was sent out. I called and found out that they never sent the part out. They just gave me a fake tracking number. They still refused a refund. They kept saying they will send it out priority.
