Unfortunately this seems to be the new norm. The last 3 sets of lbjs I have gotten came direct from the toyota dealership and they barely made it 10k before they had slop. The OEM quality doesn't seem to be what it used to be. I know I am hard on parts but the first set of oems lasted about 50k before they had slop so the lifespan has definitely gone done. At this point I am just checking and replacing as needed every 5k. I do know there is a permanent cure in the works from a new company, saw this the other day and it looks pretty enticing.
