The dealer ones and the eBay/Amazon ones are no different. They all break eventually and/or if installed wrong. When you tighten the nut and bolt, do NOT tighten them down all the way. The plastic "flares" can flare out too much causing them to break and fail. Do it enough so it flares a little bit. Use blue loctite on the nut if worried about it backing out. That's the trick. I've done one too many replacements and found this to work best.
