They could do that but they would still be utterly useless. A worn drivetrain that is maladjusted cannot be saved by plastic except a credit card to buy the correct parts and labor from your local shop. Those third party discount sites are really bad for a hundred different reasons and the more we rely on them the more damage is done.
