What symptoms are they having, or did they have, before they went? Did you use them in the OEM LCAs?

I've had mine in Racer-X's aluminum LCAs for ~1.5 years and ~12k - 14k miles; a combination of DD, a lot of auto-x's and a couple of track days. In the past few months, I've noticed that I can cause a little vertical play in them, when the car's on jackstands, that I don't remember them having before. I'm not sure though -- they might have always been like that. When driving, there doesn't seem to be any unwanted movement -- no dynamic alignment changes due to them.

I'm keeping a close eye on them and plan to send them back to Racer-X for inspection/replacement when the auto-x season is over.

Did yours give out catastrophically? Or did they just develop such noticeable play that you had to replace them?

Sorry to hear that yours only lasted 12k miles. I was hoping that these would be a long-lasting replacement for the OEM ones, since they seem to be one of the few, if not the only, available alternatives.
