A customer brought me struts they bought cheap off eBay to save money. Here's why that's a bad idea.
I show exactly what went wrong: missing install hardware, poor metal quality, and thinner springs. No warranty, more road noise, and wasted time.
Most mechanics won’t install customer parts and now you know why.
✅ This video is for every car owner tempted by cheap online parts.
❌ Don’t fall for it. A few saved bucks can cost you way more in the long run.
I’ve worked in IT, telecom, and automotive DIY for 30+ years. I don’t gouge customers but I do recommend quality parts that work.
