I need rear stabilizer links installed on my car. Why doesn't everyone offers a lifetime warranty? (parts only). Do they come in different kinds, and what's the difference? (I was told I wouldn't know the difference - LOL) Well, I really want to know. Thanx

Lifetime warranty is nothing but a marketing ploy. It's a gimmick used by the discount places and it's usually some of the lowest quality parts to boot. They are banking on you losing your receipt, selling the car or just can't be bothered bringing it back. Don't overpay for Chinese made junk.
