If you're like most people looking for suspension parts you're probably keen to get yourself the best deal.
And while you can be forgiven for wanting to save some cash, you've got to be wary of cowboys selling cheap and inferior parts.
It's important not to underestimate the danger of buying poorly made suspension parts.
Don't forget your air suspension is a major safety issue.
And if you end up with low quality parts your best case scenario is finding yourself broken down on the side of the road.
Worst case will have you upside down in a ditch.
So how can you be sure you're getting a good deal on high quality suspension parts? Here's a quick check list to cover the basics.

• What is the refund policy if you get the wrong part or the suspension part is not right for your vehicle?
• Where are the parts made? A lot of the cheaper suspension parts on offer out there are made in China.
  They are made in factories where quality control is not up to the same standards as the USA.
  Where possible, always look for suspension parts made in the USA.
  
• Are the suspension parts for your specific make and model? A one size fits all solution does not do the job properly when it comes to suspension parts.
  Always go for custom suspension parts for your vehicle.
  
• What kind of warranty do they offer? If the suspension parts are of high quality there is no reason why a suspension parts supplier cannot offer a full warranty.
  
• If you're going to be spending a lot of your hard earned cash then give their customer services department a call.
  Get a feel for the company and the level of service they offer.
  The last thing you want is to deal with a rude or incompetent person if things do happen to go wrong.
  Better yet, see if they have a dedicated tech support to help you with your questions.
  
• Do they issue invoices? You'd be surprised and shocked at the number of companies who don't.
  And without an invoice as proof of purchase, if you need a refund, you're pretty much screwed.
  
• Finally, ask around on an automotive forum.
  See if anyone has had any problems with the company you're thinking of going with.
  This can often provide you with all you need to know about a company.
  There's nothing like getting real live feedback from a fellow customer.
  

Always remember, savings made in the short term can come back to bite you if you have to replace a part after only a year or two of use.
And if you're feeling confused and not sure where to start looking, just relax because there are still some 'good guys' out there!
