Detroit axle

Found a seller with strut assys for sale. $10 each. Funny. Rockauto has bare clearance struts for $7. I’d want new top mounts but $7 is cheap. I think consensus is that DA stuff is ok?

I've used several Detroit Axle pad and rotor kits. Very good for cheap brake parts. For suspension parts I have no idea.

Seller lives 150mi away. He is coming to my town for business on Friday and will meet up.

That's a steal. Hopefully it's legit. I've been through the ol' "I'm in town on business" FB Marketplace requests in the past, so be careful.

I got them.

Changed one this morning. Found a worn sway bar link. I think struts are original since the stickers look like gm stuff.

I like Detroit axle wheel bearings. The brakes are good. I’ve had mixed results with the quick struts. Both times I tried the springs on quick struts were too stiff and too tall. Hopefully that’s not what you find out. Don’t throw the old springs away yet.
