When I replaced all in 08 at Direct Line - four items were $11.57 shipped.  Boy, how things have changed. Roll Eyes I was just asking if it was a thing that had to be done with every spline lube @ 10-11 K. The OEM I pulled out at 13,400 miles looked good, as if I could tell. Roll Eyes

i know alot are going to disagree, but when i take mine apart, if they look good, i just re-lube and put back in,  on one of my valks with 42000 miles i have only replaced the 3-rd o-ring.  everything is good.

Unless one appears to be damaged, I do not believe it would be necessary to changed at every lube (especially if lubes are every 10,000 to 12,000 miles).  I just cleaned and reused mine on the first lube, and replaced on the second lube.

This is what I was thinking, the ones I took out @ 13,400 looked as good as the new ones, that is if you could tell a bad one from a good one  Undecided

I reused a set once. I can tell it felt tighter after putting new ones in.
