USA Standard Gear® Warranty by product

The warranty lasts as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle in which the spool is originally installed.
It is normal for spools to cause tire chatter, squeal, or scrubbing when the vehicle is not moving in a straight line. Both rear tires must measure the same height from ground to top of wheel for the spool to function properly without premature wear.

USA Standard Gear covers parts for five years against manufacturing defects.
Front axle (Series ZA W)
Warrantied against manufacturing defects and axle breakage for five years. This warranty is not transferable to another party. “No Questions Asked” replacement for first warranty return, however, USA Standard Gear reserves the right to either replace axle or refund the original purchase price after the first warranty claim. USA Standard Gear (through RANDYS Worldwide Automotive) makes final determination on warranty considerations.
