Not really if you get a lifetime warranty I got a set from Auto zone 10 yrs ago and they have held up good main thing is if you grease your ball joints every 3 to 4000 miles they will last a lot longer install 90 degree grease fitting on the upper ball joints so you can grease them also jacking upthe wheels when greasing ball joints makes them take grease better.The ones I got from Auto zone had a lifetime warranty but Auto zone may not be offering a lifetime warranty anymore .A lot of parts yrs ago they gave a lifetime warranty on they discontinued I think they were loosing money found out people were keeping there trucks longer

If its a 4x4 check the wheel joints(u joints) while you are in there. They should move freely with no play, check your wheel bearings also for pitting and discoloration. And others have said grease, grease and grease! You can't believe what a difference this makes in the longevity of parts.

front axle seals rarely leak and replacing them is a major job.
