Not needed as such, it just turns that particular part of the car into fit and forget. They don't have a knock on effect on anything else, but they'll never break.
You might break a ring once or twice a year. I've done two.

FWIW Some of the CF bling *can* make other parts fail, even if its much less often, eg, going to CF towers can have an impact on the bulkheads they are mounted to. But instead of snapping a plastic tower once or twice a month (5 minute repair), you do the bulk head once every 3 or 4 months (half an hour of unscrewing and rescrewing and jiggling balls and washers into place.........)

Its always a trade.

And i am (possibly) ashamed to say that i have finally given up on the Durango ball cups and balls. I've tried ALL the tricks, everything on here, everything on the TD site, a few i thought up on my own.
So a switch to the Associated TiNi balls w/RPM long shank cups is in progress.
