Mine did fine for 120,000 until 2 of the 4 bolts that holds the Zexel together wanted to start backing out. Both snapped off on the bearing caps and destroyed my rear the first time it broke. I didn't go with the Auburn though, but Tru-Trac instead. Can't give any insight on the Auburn but very happy with the Tru-Trac. I do know the Auburn is rebuildable unlike the Tru-Trac which belongs in the trashcan once it breaks.

this ones got 117,000 on it. had the cover off about 10,000 ago for an oil change everything looked fine and worked ok. it's not making any noise. i understand that the zexel is a throw away also so what ever is worn out or broken there is not much chance i'll be able to fix it? or not?
