Bobby, if they are the ones I'm thinking they are, they are utter rubbish
This one had done less than 2000 km and it's really worn out.
Softer than cheese.

there similar Chris mine only got 2 grooves. i put it in about 1000
miles ago and noticed now bit of play so thought i would just take a shim out thats when i noticed wasnt sitting like it should the rubber cover was all loose and could see a visible gap. top arm needed going down about 2 ml more so changed it. on measuring it was 17 thou more thickness. would it have mattered was going to put something so rubber cover not loose. I have 3 more of them as well all 17 thou thicker. what I should have done is put 2 rubber covers on. wasn't a problem driving
