Frequently asked questions

What should I check before stocking a suspension line?

Fitment data first — OE numbers, dimensions and side-specific part numbers. Then the supplier’s material and test standards, packaging for heavy parts, and the return policy. Price comes last.

Why do suspension parts have high return rates?

Because listings often omit the dimensions that decide fitment: stud length, mounting style, bar diameter and side. A buyer who cannot verify those will order by model and year and often get it wrong.
