For the most part the handling on my blazer has always been smooth. But now I’m hearing a noise coming from underneath just about every time I tap or hit the brakes. A couple of days ago I took it to the shop and sure enough there was a problem. I was told I needed to have the front and rear suspensions replaced, preferably over the next few weeks (it does have over 214,000 miles). To save myself some money along with the cost of labor, I’ve decided to search amazon for the parts I need. But at the same time I also don’t want to sacrifice quality for cost. While searching amazon I found a seller called APX Auto Parts. It seems like they specialize in suspension parts. And they had what I need in stock Buy 5051 - SENSEN Shocks Struts, Full Set, 4 Pieces, NEW, Lifetime Warranty | 1213-0305, 1213-0305, 1214-0135, 1214-0135,344042, 344041, 32194, 37021. But I don’t know. You tell me? I have a little time to think it over.

Best replacement shocks I find are KYB. In 17 years that the company ive worked for had been in business, we have done a couple KYB warranties. Monroe is warrantied 1 in every 20-30 we sell it seems.
I have no experience with APX, never even heard of them. But if you are keeping the vehicle for a long period of time, I wouldn't go for the cheapest ones online. We have an online seller up here in Ottawa Canada called prime choice. Worst crap you can buy. One of our second line suppliers builder in China sends them all their products that fail their quality control.
Just some stuff to keep in mind.
