    True...they are NOT as strong as OEM....
    But..having used them for both road, moderate and hard core wheeling..
    .... you sum it up perfectly Mark

    The tolerances for ball fit in green cup are spot on..
    ..as is spline fit and axle shaft diam.

    If its Only for ON road use I would recommend these 100%.
    If you wheel off road.... trails and bumps are fine..
    ...just dont rock crawl with them.

    Agreed, however there are far more factors then just road conditions. Driving style, weight of wheels and tires, among others. Fact is aftermarket is not as good. I am sure they will work for many people perfectly fine. But for the money I would get used OEM.
