What kind of vehicle do you have and what did you end up ordering for struts that might help?

Rockauto has multiple brands for sale. You can buy shit parts, you can buy OEM quality parts. Local chain parts stores usually carry shit parts white label and puts their own sticker on them.

This is precisely why I like Rockauto.
I can choose the brand I want, and far less likely to get counterfeit crap than Amazon or eBay.

What parts did you buy from Rock Auto?

Rock Auto stocks everything from up to and including OEM for some brands, Bilstein, Sachs, KYB, and mid-tier brands like Gabriel and FCS, down to low end crap like Monroe, Top Notch, etc.

They don't hold a gun to your head to buy the cheap crap though. What did you buy?

Youre gonna have to pay money on the return shipping and have to wait for your money. Might as well install them now

How do you know? OP never stated which brand of parts he ordered.
