Is it worth replacing the bushings on the new Mevotech control arms thereby nullifying their life-time warranty or does it make more sense to leverage Movetech life-time warranty and replace the entire control arms at no cost under the warranty if the bushings go bad? In my experience, it only takes about 30 minutes or so to replace the upper control arms on one side, i.e., not too much work to replace the upper control arms if and when needed. Just a thought.

The FIGS (SuperPro) bushings also have a lifetime warranty and IMO nothing else on the Mevotech arm is likely to fail prematurely. The upgraded bushings are well worth the investment IMO as they improve steering feel as well.

The warranty is passed on to the consumer by the retailer of the product. Please ensure you review the retailer’s warranty policies before purchasing. Mevotech is not able to process warranty claims directly."

With other manufacturers/retailers I've seen 1 year and Limited-Lifetime warranties; however, I have yet to view any detailed information with regards to the "Limited" aspect of it. My guess is the actual arms themselves are covered, but the bushings are not or may require substantial effort/proof that the control arms were installed properly (or by "certified" technicians/shops), and/or they were defective prior to being installed on the vehicle.
