The Kryptonite No Fine Print Lifetime Warranty specifically states "Kryptonite steering and suspension components are warrantied for life to their original purchaser.

KRYPTONITE STEERINGMany would argue that Kryptonite got its foot in the door with their massive steering tie rods for Chevy 2500HD and 3500s, or maybe it was their upper control arms for this application.

From these initial proving grounds, Kryptonite has vastly expanded their portfolio in providing steering linkages for Ram and Fords, Lifetime Warranty Wheel Bearings, ball joints, centerlinks, pitman and idler arms, and even complete suspension systems!

Major upgrade
"Very pleased with the heavy duty strength of these parts. Definitely a step up from stock parts ."
Kryptonite Death Grip Idler Side Package 11-22 GM 2500HD / 3500
"Was delivered pretty quickly and in perfect condition. Kryptonite has really done a great job with the design and build. Install wasn't too difficult, but the bracket did not fit my 2024 GMC 2500hd Denali. The steering is definitely better and i am hoping when I install the other side, it will improve even more. Just wish the bracket fit so i could give this 5 stars."
