I just installed them and they work great. It takes a little time to get them in and shimmed correctly, but I am very happy with them. Don't use any lubrication on them as it will just attract dirt and make them wear faster.

I installed mine a little over a year ago. It was nice to get rid of the slop in the yoke. What 65c said about taking the time to shim them correctly is important.
