This unique warranty proves our commitment to the quality and reliability of every product we make.
First and most important, you must have your original sales receipt in order for any warranty to be valid (A warranty item is valid to the original purchaser). BDS stands behind its products and that’s evident by their No Fine Print Warranty. This no-BS warranty protects the original purchaser against breakage, bending, sagging, or any other usage failure. This “no fine print” lifetime replacement warranty extends to cover all BDS hard parts as well as bushings. Exclusions would be product finish and wearable items such as shock/stabilizer cylinders, tie rod ends and ball joints that would fall under the separate Limited Lifetime Warranty policy. Beginning February 1, 2020 all new kit purchases include the No Fine Print Warranty on bushings.
Wearable items include shock/steering stabilizer cylinders, ball joints and tie rod ends. BDS Suspension Co. warrants to the original retail purchaser that its these wearable parts are free from defects in material and workmanship for so long as they own the vehicle. Excluded from this warranty are the finish of the product. Defects in material and workmanship do not include such things as dented cylinders or bent rods caused by obvious side impact, rust or corrosion. A shock absorber is a wear item and over time will experience diminished damping resistance due to normal component wear. This is not a defect in material or workmanship and is therefore not warrantable.
BDS NX2 Series Shocks - Shock oil seals are subject to wear over time, and use. Therefore are not covered under warranty. However leaking shock seals less than 2 years from date of purchase, free from contamination, damage, or abnormal seal wear due to misuse can be considered for Warranty.
FOX Performance Series Shocks and FOX 2.5 Coil Overs - Shock oil seals are subject to wear over time, and use. Therefore are not covered under warranty. However leaking shock seals less than 1 year from date of purchase, free from contamination, damage, or abnormal seal wear due to misuse can be considered for Warranty.

Ball Joints and Tie Rod Ends - These items are subject to normal wear over time. However, Ball Joints and Tie Rod ends less than 3 years from the date of purchase, that have been properly greased, maintained, and do not show signs of abnormal use can be considered for warranty.

If you receive your merchandise by truck freight, pay special attention to what it says on the paperwork you will be asked to sign. It will say 1 skid containing X number pieces. You are signing for this many pieces. You must count and confirm the number of pieces before signing.
If you receive a package that was short or damaged which was delivered by a truck freight company, you must sign for it that way. Sign the bill of lading as (short) or (damaged) qty?, Item?, Description?, Type damage?, Etc. Please make sure that the driver acknowledges the situation, in writing on the bill of lading or else BDS Suspension cannot proceed in helping you with a claim on the product. The truck freight carriers are very specific on this matter.
If your package has been shipped to you from BDS Suspension and has become lost by one of the carriers, then a "tracer" must be started on the item/package. BDS Suspension, unfortunately, is at the mercy of the carriers in these situations and our hands are tied. We at BDS Suspension must abide by the rules of the carrier under these circumstances.
A certain number of days are allowed for the carrier to attempt to locate and deliver the package. If this cannot be completed, then a claim will be opened and BDS Suspension will be given permission by the carrier to reship to you. It is not BDS Suspension’s fault that the carrier lost your package. In an effort to eliminate this situation we attempt to ship only with the most reputable carriers available.
