Even the RPM arms do it. I mark one side with a metallic sharpie, and remove and inspect them after every race day. If the hinge pin doesn't fall out when you hold the arm vertically, the arm is junk. If it's okay, I clean them, lube them with a dry film lube (RD-50 I think), and reinstall them with the marks facing the other direction. So far, the set in my truck has two race days, but I haven't broke it down yet. I'll report back after I do it.
In addition, I went to the trouble to weight several other SC trucks at the track over the weekend, and I learned a couple of things. I need a couple of days to think about it before I post anything.
