– Product Warranty and Warnings –
Fabtech provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty to the original retail purchaser
who owns the vehicle, on which the product was originally installed, for
defects in workmanship and materials.
The Limited Lifetime Warranty excludes the following Fabtech items; bushings,
bump stops, ball joints, tie rod ends, limiting straps, cross shafts, heim
joints and driveshafts. These parts are subject to wear and are not considered
defective when worn. They are warranted for 60 days from the date of purchase
for defects in workmanship.
Dirt Logic and Performance Coilover take apart shocks are considered a
serviceable shock with a one year warranty on leakage only. Service seal kits
are available separately for future maintenance. All other shocks are covered
under our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Fabtech does not warrant any product for finish, alterations, modifications
and/or installation contrary to Fabtech’s instructions. Alterations to the
finish of the parts including but not limited to painting, powder coating,
plating and/or welding will void all warranties. Some finish damage may occur
to parts during shipping, which is considered normal and is not covered under
warranty.
Fabtech products are not designed nor intended to be installed on vehicles
used in race applications or for racing purposes or for similar activities. (A
“RACE” is defined as any contest between two or more vehicles, or any contest
of one or more vehicle against the clock, whether or not such contest is for a
prize). This warranty does not include coverage for police or taxi vehicles,
race vehicles, or vehicles used for government or commercial purposes. Also
excluded from this warranty are sales outside of the United States of America.
Installation of most suspension products will raise the center of gravity of
the vehicle and will cause the vehicle to handle differently than stock. It
may increase the vehicle’s susceptibility to a rollover, on road and off road,
at all speeds. Extreme care should be taken to operate the vehicle safely at
all times to prevent rollover or loss of control resulting in serious injury
or death. Fabtech front end Desert Guards may impair the deployment or
operation of vehicles equipped with supplemental restraining systems/air bag
systems and should not be installed if the vehicle is equipped as so.
Fabtech makes every effort to ensure suspension product compatibility with all
vehicles listed on the website, but due to unknown auto manufacturer’s
production changes and/or inconstancies by the auto manufacturer, Fabtech
cannot be responsible for 100% compatibility, including the fitment of tire
and wheel sizes listed. The Tire and Wheel sizes listed in Fabtech’s website
are only a guideline for street driving with noted fender trimming. Fabtech is
not responsible for damages to the vehicle’s body or tires. Fabtech is not
responsible for premature wear of factory components due to the installation
of oversized tires and wheels.
Fabtech’s obligation under this warranty is limited to the repair or
replacement, at Fabtech option, of the defective product only.
All costs of removal, installation or re-installation, freight charges,
incidental or consequential damages are expressly excluded from this warranty.
Fabtech is not responsible for damages and/or warranty of other vehicle parts
related or non related to the installed Fabtech product. This warranty is
expressly in lieu of all other warranties expressed or implied. This warranty
shall not apply to any product that has been subject to accident, negligence,
alteration, abuse or misuse as determined by Fabtech.
Fabtech suspension components must be installed as a complete system including
shocks as shown on our website. All warranties will become void if Fabtech
parts are combined and/or substituted with other aftermarket suspension
products. Combination and/or substitution of other aftermarket suspension
parts may cause premature wear and/or product failure resulting in an accident
causing injury or death. Fabtech does not warrant products not manufactured by
Fabtech.
Depending on the condition of the factory suspension components retained after
the installation of a Fabtech suspension not all vehicles may have the same
ride stance front to rear as described in the website. The blue color of

purposes only. Majority of all Fabtech components will be black specifically
where noted with part numbers ending in BK.
Installation of Fabtech product may void the vehicles factory warranty; it is
the consumer’s responsibility to check with their local vehicle’s dealer for
warranty disposition before the installation of the product. Some state laws
may prohibit modification of suspension to a vehicle in whole or in part. It

prior to the installation of any Fabtech suspension product to comply with
such written laws.
