Message Absolutely no issues when they are installed correctly. It’s the place that does the alignment that is usually the culprit. Even if you install them properly, the alignment shops (unless you tell them), usually do not make sure that the orientation of the ball joint is correct so that it does not bind. If the ball joint is not orientated the correct way, it puts a constant stress on the ball joint which will lead to premature failure of the joint.

I’ve heard of this far too many times where improper installations have occurred and people are quick to judge the product. It’s interesting where a post like this turns into a ploy to tout another companies product.

When the poster does not want to contact the manufacturer of the product due to possible issues and then makes this statement “his products are cheap knock off crap”, it can definitely cause doubt in the validity and merit of the post.

It’s pretty funny to hear that you think the product is a knock off when in fact there are plenty of knock offs/copys of the powertrix product line.

I wouldn't expect powertrix to warrenty an improperly installed product but I would still contact them as you may be surprised as I have personally heard of them going out of their way to help even when it is not thier fault.
