I guess so. Doesn't say if I will have to purchase them the next time around though since all my front ens parts were already warranteed
If it is a lifetime warranty part (e.g., The Problem Solver grade), most parts stores will honor it for life if you have the receipt or if they can locate the transaction in their point of sale computer system. If you get pushback from a particular national chain store, try a different B+M location. I've had to do that twice at Advance Auto Parts over the years.
The warranty usually doesn't cover torn boots, unless it was clearly a manufacturing defect
At Autozone, you don't even need the receipt. just your phone number. If you gave them your number when you bought it, it will show up at warranty time
I don't frequent O'Reilly's nearly as often as AutoZone or Advance Auto due to their higher regular prices and smaller selection of supplies. However, I have found O'Reilly's to be superior when: (1) seeking out certain hard to find items (e.g., Redline SI-1, WIX branded filters) and (2) especially when purchasing parts with a lifetime warranty. O'Reilly's computer system maintains the warranty information indefinitely and it is networked between locations. AutoZone deletes the info from their system every few years when their software is updated and some Advance Auto brick and mortar locations play fast and loose with interpreting what "limited" lifetime warranty means. I have actually been told by two different A.A. store managers that "limited" means that the warranty was limited to the functional lifetime of the alternator that failed 5 years later!Go figure...
Advance Auto also has a history of superseding a part with a new brand/label (e.g., Driveworks vs. Carquest), often rendering the original part number void in their inventory system. They can't honor a lifetime warranty on a superseded part number that is not in their current POS* system because there is no way to enter an exchange into their system. I had the printed receipt for a lifetime warranty Carquest door lock actuator that was superseded and all the manager could do was refund the original price and offer to sell me the same actuator in a different labeled box for $15 more than I originally paid. I said no thanks and ordered it from Amazon for $15 less than what I originally paid. Also, online purchases picked up at a local Advance Auto B&M store do not appear in their computer systems.
*double entendre by design
Is your 3/4 ton Ram over 8000 lbs. GVWR?? Then the “lifetime” warranty doesn’t apply either! Like I’ve said elsewhere-Moog isn’t what they used to be!
It is but they warrantees it anyways lol who knows though @$1700 there's no telling whether or not they were warranted or not.
I think it's the grease. I bet they arent using a rubber compatible with petroleum oils/grease. The boots on the ball joints on my side by side are still in place for the record
They occasionally "update" their entire system and info is lost.
I placed an online order with them, then decided that I would get the item at the autozone by my work a couple days later instead of the one 15 miles each way. They couldn't do a refund over the phone because they can't lookup the order or some weird excuse. I can give you the order number.... Told me I had to come in person and cancel the order. I asked, well what if I just didn't pick it up? You'll still be charged..... I called corporate to complain, but turned out they could refund my money, so I didn't bother making a fuss. So clearly autozone still operates on windows 95
Do you see an exclusion in their warranty for wear or for boots? If not, it is covered.The warranty usually doesn't cover torn boots, unless it was clearly a manufacturing defect
At Autozone, you don't even need the receipt. just your phone number. If you gave them your number when you bought it, it will show up at warranty time
Doesn't mean you can't still get a new part for the next time. No reason a ball joint can't go 3 more weeks either. Mine were probably bad for several thousand miles. There's bad then there is unsafe.
I want to say they typically split where the creases are.
You can use that to make a huge glob over the whole thing. May not be pretty but it would seal and hold. In fact overlapping it on itself is where it's the strongest.
