What is a 1 year limited life time warranty?

Some parts I would never use aftermarket, others like quality suspension parts I would have no problem using. Chrysler uses many parts made by aftermarket companies, brakes and hydraulic lines for example - the problem is figuring out what manufacturers they use.
The bearings from Auto Zone are probably inferior quality, but if they are substantially cheaper, on a 200k Jeep I would use them. You should be able to get at least 30k + mi on them.
