Only one of my flap tracks has the wear problem. Can I replace just one? I'm worried about getting uneven flap deployment, but if they match the originals, maybe that's not a problem. On the other hand, I generally like to do these things all or nothing.

Dave, I'm no help on that one. On both of the flap track replacements I mentioned, all of the flap tracks were replaced because of wear throughout them.
