Has anyone ever ordered suspension from Walmart? I'm wanting to get Detroit Axle from PartsGeek which has the same suspension for a few hundred more, but do y'all think it'd be worth it going through Walmart? I know you get what you pay for but it's also the same brand, I don't know, what do y'all think?

walmart website isnt really walmart anymore. think of it like amazon but the amazon choice items can also be found in an amazon store if it existed. so on the same token you really dont know what your getting as there is probably little if any seller quality checks to make sure the seller is actually sourcing it from somewhere legit. i would just get the p/n from the kit google search it and order it from somewhere more reputable.
Time and time again we see people order Detroit Axle components/kits and have problems with poor quality. If you cannot do Genuine GM or AC Delco, then do Moog.

I have bought on walmart website and most times its exactly what's advertised, once it wasn't and walmart sent mailing tag and refunded complete price.
I have found site price cheaper than amazon, to me amazon is not best price most of time.

I understand that, the site says it orders and ships from Detroit Axle but just with it being Walmart, I'm expecting a "Great Value" suspension, I don't wanna have to replace it 3-6 months down the road

If suspension ships from Detroit axle should be quality, they state along with warranty.
If I were guessing sale fees are cheaper on walmart site than amazon.

These are the brands I'm seeing on the Walmart site at least, years ago I ordered Detroit Axle for my blazer and didn't have a problem with them, if I can get something better I will obviously, but I'm also trying to save some money without cheaping out

I've had mixed luck with Detroit Axle components. Generally good with an occasional early failure, kinda the same as all new parts now it seems. I order from walmart quite a bit - they became one of my go-to's when I stopped using Amazon. Haven't ordered many auto parts from them, other than tires, but you ought to get what's listed.
