have heard them go at around 15k, bet ur pleased ur not paying as a they are around £400 alone , plus there mortgage labour fees and imagine it’s a good £800 - £1000 job

It is a crap design, the front joint is top notch, then there is the centre bearing which is pretty skimpy, this can be repaired with pu/sikaflex sealant if just the rubber has split, and then there is the rear u/j fitted in a situation that no u/j should be fitted, these tend to seize.
must confess often wonder if they would last a lot longer if they didn’t do away with grease points , another sealed for life item, lol
No its not the lack of grease, or sealed for life status, I see trucks kissing 1.5millions kms on sealed for life props.
It is the problem with using a std u/j for the rear joint, they have to be able to move, limit that movement and things get sticky.
