20% does sounds significant, but I am not sure what the official answer is. When I replaced mine the profile looked distorted from lack of lubrication. Greasing the newer used splines seems to be keeping that problem at bay for now.

How do you know they are worn 20%?  ??? Are you measuring them with micrometer, or just going by looks? If measuring, where did you find dimensions or wear limits? Undecided
