JP,
I'd love a warranty like that on the rear transverse links on my 5ktq - I've
had to replace them a couple of times in the past few years. It may be true
that the front links were underdesigned.....some revisions to the design and
a silent warranty may have been applied to the underdesign......but a
lifetime warranty?
Cheers!
