Good info to know guys... I will probably take one (or more) of mien off this spring/summer to test them before replacing.

Unfortunately, I only have Drivetrain warranty left on my 99 VX, so I'll be replacing them on my own.

Oh well, at least when I spend the $$$, the VX will ride like is it supposed to. That will me a mod that is well worth the $$$ !!!
