My wife picked up a wheel cyl from the new autozone last night.I put it on and was having trouble bleeding it.Went out this morning and had a puddle of fluid.The cylinder is leaking!Has anyone used these Italian cylinders from autozone?

Took both wheel cylinders back to autozone.Picked up a set of wagners from an independent supply warehouse.They supply all the local garages.Will do cash tranactions only for walk-ins.15.00 each.Bought a master cyl from them last week,because the autozone master cyl only lasted 2 month.Had high hopes for autozone.They are better at a lot off things than pep boys,and a lot more helpful and friendlier.

I don't like autozone very much....most of the parts they sell are cheap junk. I would rather pay 30% more for something that is made here in the USA and i know should last longer. They do have good prices on hot rod parts in stock at the store though. I picked up a Edelbrock air cleaner from thim for cheaper than Summit had it. Also picked up a carb tuning kit from them for the same price as Summit.
