My experience has been over the last 10 years I have never.....NEVER.....had to replace a lifetime warranty part from autozone or o'reillys other than brake pads. Im sure it will happen one day, but to equip my daily driver I havent had an issue yet.

Gabriel from Autozone.

Is there a good way to test for this still on the car? Also do any of you think that other parts could be binding causing this? I did change the LCA, tie rod end, and sway bar link....but I doubt that those parts would cause the issues Im experiencing, but I dont want to count anything out.

I recently changed all four struts and every part of my suspension on the front end. My ride quality is horrible and acting like the struts are bad but the symptoms are puzzling. When you try to bounce the vehicle to test the struts there is no bounce....when I push down, it stays down. I can...

Here is the latest and most baffling part so far: I jacked the car up and slid under it while my wife wiggled the tires horizontally. With my head and ear as close to the rack and pinion as possible I was hearing the clunking sound coming from about 18 inches behind the rack to the rear of the...

OEM rubber. The sequence of repairs was struts, mounts, and sway bar links because struts were out. After this repair the clunking starting and grew over the course of a month. Then I changed the LCA and the cluncking is getting worse. It seems that replacing the older worn out parts is...

I have a clunking noise that is only intensifying in frequency and severity. It is coming from just right of center on the front end between the tires. I have replaced the strut, strut mount, tie rod end, sway bar links, and lower control arm with bushings and ball joints pre-installed. This...
