That's why I'm so glad to see how well the joints have held up for 1000 miles (plus an unknown amount of mileage on the donor before I tore it down). I still plan to pull them out to replace them annually and to check for wear. Especially now that wleehendrick clued me into the $30 Moogs on Amazon, I figure it will just be routine annual maintenance.
