Mine were chewed up at 35k miles. +1 on the gear drive cams. They are a little noisy, but one less worry. The problem is the variation in quality during the manufacture make keeping the original set up a gamble at best, but I have heard the replacement material is far superior to the original ones they used. Crappy design if you ask me.
