Cheap and nasty parts from the likes of paddocks. Get the decent quality stuff it only costs a bit more but lasts ten times as long.

Nar just depends where you buy from tbh m8 , you may of had one that wasnt assembled correctly from the factory ( not enough preload ) so it failed very soon . Ive fitted a few in the past that has lasted Ages
