These things worked flawlessly in my truck. I got them used and ran them for a bout a year with no issues. They seemed a little tight when I got them so I just repacked them with grease and threw em in. I figured if one ever broke then I would just warranty it out.
I even replaced them with a used 30 spline set that felt equally stiff, and I am currently running those with no issues.
after a little searching on the sublject I found these, I love the one where Bobby says.....
''It will be just fine some are a little tighter than others, go ahead and run it.
As you know somethings are tighter than others so enjoy it.''
