Typical results, too bad most owners don't realize this. What brand did ya go with?

No life time warranty but I recently replaced mine with Spicer. Got them from RockAuto.

Depends on who is answering the question. Many (as I do) think Spicer is the way to go. I use Spicer on my Jeep also whenever I can but recently, Spicer has joined with Raybestos so we can only have the good faith that what was always an excellent product hasn't changed. Moog is very good, I don't think you can go wrong with either brand.

will do but I think the issue has been with the silver 5100's? since I'm not lifted I'm going with the yellow/blues that I've ran before but I'll do a search

thanks for the heads up
