Front Link Kit keeps quitting on me

Hello!
My front link kit are due again, for a 5th time in 4 years...

Where I get them they are garanteed for life, but still, getting tired to go there every 10 months or so for the same thing... and of course I have to pay the time so...

I looked on the forum but couldn't find a lot of information on this problem.... I'm I one of the few having that much problems with them?

What are my other options?? Plz help!
Thanks

actually yes it's called the end links.
Actually I already tried the Bwoody links, they lasted a few more months... but for the price I paid still not very good.
I'm I the only one having to change them pretty much once a year??

Neither the moog or ac delco versions tend to last very long. Somebody needs to come out with a link that has a grease nipple. Caravans are also horrid for links until a greasable version is used.

So much for my theory then, lol. Our AC Delco jobber carries Moog as well as Delco, we usually switch to Moog when we have problems with the Delco part premature failures. I haven't found Moog to last any longer than Delco in this particular application.

Grease nipples usually introduce more dirt with every injection of grease. There's a reason why no modern cars come with zerk fittings anymore.

hum... so for now other than having to learn to live with it and change it pretty much once a year, no solution?
Well so far that's pretty much the only think I'm having problems with... since changing the read disc to something better
Thanks for the info!

Not only that but you have too many idiots who keep filling it until they see the grease start to pop out of the boot. Guess what idiot? You just broke the seal and now water and dirt get a direct entrance to wear away your balljoint, tie rod or endlink.
