I got mine in a little off center and you could visibly see it wasnt right.

Don helped me (read: he did the work, i handed him the tools) put mine on--I think they are the way he described above and I did hold them in place while he remounted the shocks. So centered properly.

Be a year come 4th of July I've had them on. So save for the occasional creaking on the passenger side in back at random times (smooth road, bumps, etc), I don't have a clunking sound. Haven't checked to see if the rubber is wearing off.

Regardless, I just love having them on--look great and the ride is nice.

Well, reinstalled them today, no big deal. They feel and sound the same (although they were just installed earlier today)... But, I guess I have a little more piece of mind if nothing else. The vehicle definitely handles a fair amount sharper, although when I get and put on the TTR rear sway bar that's coming on Tuesday, I'm sure it will be much more solid! Thanks for your input guys
