    Addco front sway Bars Complaint

    I've been calling them all day, called over 20 time's ,2 times they picked up. I have the rubber parts that cracked and came out. They say life time warrenty. I was told John would call back today. No call. I told them I'd pay for the new parts, they wont take my order. I'm like so mad at this point. I've been nothing but nice on the phone. I just dont understand how people stay in business with no customer service.

    i can understand the frustration and wonder where customer service is at a bunch of places, thump racing, deltran-the maker of battery tender , upr products all have given me the run around or ignored me.

    you can buy energy suspension bushings in their universal section if you get no where.

    I heard of Energy Supension Bushings through my friend Greggash. Looks like that's what I'll have to do. I know the bar is 1 1/4 in thick. How do they stay in business when a customer doesnt really care about the warrenty & just want's to place a order & pay. They won't even take the order. Warrenty B.S.

    Ask Chris at Adtr about his experience with Addco. Hence why he is having is own swaybars made

    There is no off position on my genius switch.

    This^

    I have a few new sets of brand new Addco bushings because I refuse to install them. I also hate throwing things away I guess.

    If you want a set there yours Chief, but I wouldn't want them on mine.

    I had a bushing go bad on my metco rear control arm for my GN

    I sent a message to metco asking if I could buy bushings for the USED SET of control arms that I bought used

    They asked for my address and sent me bushings free of charge. I was floored


    So I bought a new 1 1/4 front addco sway bar off CL last week. Bar only

    Any preference on sway bar end link kit?

    I just want black poly non squeeky bushings from summit

    FYI Up date : Well I got a call from John ( From Addco ) This morning saying he was sorry about what happened. He said they moved from N.C. to Florida, had hard times & a few of his workers left. He will ship the parts out today ( Under warrenty ) & I'll have them tommarrow. He also said he is working on getting his business running better. Not too many say their sorry these days, I have to give him credit.

    At that age, getting upset over slow lifetime warranty processing is silly.
    I wouldn't have even bothered with a claim.
