Regarding the pricing for the NAPA premium LBJ's: I am seeing the same $91.99 price for right side replacement LBJ that a previous poster had indicated. Thought these were supposed to save money over the OEM's?
And regarding the discussion here about returning the NAPA part every so often for replacement - I copied this warranty info our of their PDF for the LBJ specifically. Seems if they follow their rules to the letter, you may have a harder time doing this: (Just saying.....)
What the warranty covers:
NAPA Chassis warrants all NAPA Chassis products
to be free from defects in materials
and workmanship during the period of service life recomme
nded by the vehicle or equipment manufacturer. This
warranty is not transferable. New car and equipment warranties remain in effect when NAPA Chassis products are
used. The NAPA Chassis warranty does not cover any loss due to misuse, alteration, accident, abuse, neglect,
normal wear, improper applic
ation or installation of the products.
This warranty only applies to NAPA Chassis
products installed on passenger cars, vans, and light trucks.
It does not apply to products installed on vehicles or
equipment used for the following: towing, racing, public se
rvice, security, government, off-highway recreational, off-
highway competition, fleet or commercial purposes, or if
used in any aircraft or aviation application. The warranty
does not cover any loss or liability for incidental or cons
equential damages that may be
caused by a breach of this
written warranty. NAPA CHASSIS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM
S ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION
, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND OF FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The foregoing states NAPA C
hassis’ entire and exclusive liability and the buyer’s
exclusive and sole remedy for any damages or claim made
in connection with the sale of NAPA Chassis product. No
other warranty, express or implied, shall exist.
If the NAPA Chassis product is found by NAPA Chassis to be
defective in material or workmanship during the period
of service life recommended by the vehicle or equipme
nt manufacturer, NAPA Chassis will replace the defective
product with another
NAPA Chassis produc
t at its option.
Replacement guidelines:
In order to obtain vehicle or equipment repl
acement under this warranty, the customer
must, within 30 days after discovery of defect or failure
, submit a claim to a NAPA AUTO PARTS Store. The
customer must also allow the NAPA Chassis Warranty
and Technical Service Department to examine the NAPA
Chassis product and, if required, the vehicle or equipmen
t, to determine the extent of damage and whether it was
caused by a defective NAPA Chassis product covered by this
warranty. Products must be returned – in their original,
unmodified condition – to the place of
purchase for warranty consideration.
NAPA Chassis will replace any NAPA Chassis product found
not to conform to this warranty provided that the
customer follows this warranty filing procedure:
1.
The NAPA AUTO PARTS Store must complete the NAPA Alleged Defective Merchandise Tag. Be very
specific about the incident and the
reason for filing the claim. The more information provided, the easier it
will be to expedite and process the claim.
2.
Submit all pertinent paperwork, including copies of the
original purchase receipt, repair orders, pictures (if
applicable) and all paperwork relating to the incident.
3.
For questions, call (815) 363-9000 ext. 3262.
NAPA Chassis reserves the right, at its sole discretion,
to provide a monetary refund instead of a replacement.
NAPA Chassis also retains full discretion in determining
whether any returned NAPA Chassis product satisfies the
condition of the warranty.
