As most know, they fail frequently. I replaced with NAPA units that have a lifetime warrantee. They continue to fail every 20-50 Kmiles.
Is there a replacement brand that lasts longer????

I don't yet have the experience on the Voyager, but my MPV has the same setup. I found I should not go for the cheapest I can get. If the socket is plastic and you see 4 dots of that plastic on the back of the cup, it means it is made by holding the ballin the cup, then injecting the plastic through the 4 holes in the back. This is the type that wears out in 20,000 miles. Now I inspect my links before buying. If you can, try to get a metal socket or at least something with a superior design. Unfortunately this is one of those areas where money can be well spent.

i looked at some at the parts store made by moog and they are monsters! twice the beef of the factory links and heavier joints as well. they were 50 bucks a piece but i imagine that at even twice the price of stock they are well worth it in the long run.
