Mine had major play in them and were completely shot at 161k. They probably should have been replaced at 120k to be honest, but I didn't own it then.
Individual experiences may vary..thats why i qualified with 'should'. Inspect and replace if needed.

Ours had 155k on it, not terribly far off from 161k and still good condition. The boots were good and no play.
I had to trash one because the 5mm hex threads were damaged during the attempt to remove.
