We they sold Me a substandard uni joint, I have been working on cars trucks Semi's Motorcycles Boats etc for most of My Life starting at 8 years old , I am now 54 it was in My Blood, I have several automotive degrees and certifications, So I do know how to install a uni joint, Ok I put an oreally joint in the top of the line and it went bad in 5 , yes 5 miles, So I took a outside caliper to it and it was out of round by .004 to .007 on 1 half the other half was .001 to .009 out of round, I took it up to oreally they said tuff *** after having it for a year and putting Me off about the $2900.00 bill i had for the repairs , They said that I put it in a race car, Ok I do have a race car but its not this one, but even if it was I have had the same uni joint in that car for 3 racing seasons, Then when I asked about the dementions on it they said it was with in spec, ?? Oh *** no, I had at least 23 old joints laying around the shop and not one of them was out of spec as much as that is, So we go to court now, 1289d84  Comments (24) |
| 1. Written by oreilly employee on April 11, 2012 from humble, texas, US Im not here to defend the company, since its pretty obv oreillys has lost your business. Im just going to be honest. The best case scenario for you wouldve been a labor claim. That means first they take the part and send it back to the manufacturer to see if it was a defect or user error. If it was deemed a defect they would want to see receipts from a shop to prove it caused the damage, doubt theyd just take ur word for it. If all that goes through than that company reimburses you, but its a long process. While it sucks, theres no just it messed ur stuff up here this should cover it anymore. Sorry ur experience sucked, and better luck in the future |

Before you knock people for grammer check yours. They sell POS parts because 90% of the people dont care what they buy and wont spend the money for the better part. Its no different from any other auto parts store. They all do the same thing. |

| 10. Written by Customer Error on February 7, 2012 from phoenix, arizona, US It is instalation error on your part. In 99% of the cases we see it is improper instalation. Furthermore the warranty is void if installed on a race car or modified drive shaft. Ever hear of thread locker.... We sell that too Mr. Fix It. |
