crystalworks is on a distinguished road
There you go Maruzo. I'm one of those who reuse and torque to spec and then do 45 degrees instead of 90. I don't drive the truck for performance and so don't notice any jiggly feeling Andrew describes.

Will follow x5only's lead and order from FCP eventually, but will wait until all maintenance that requires the plate to be removed is complete. FCP banks on people not keeping their cars long enough for repeat failures of the parts purchased and as x5only pointed out, with enough volume of sales, hopefully their losses are covered many times over so the lifetime guarantee sticks around for a long time.
