I've heard this a couple of times recently - seems there is a bad batch around (the problem is with the plastic bushes apparently). Trouble is that most (if not all) sellers source from the same maker so the problem could occur anywhere. The last person I heard this from had got good ones from Rimmers (UK) but they may have been good fortune. Suggest contacting your source, advising them of the problem (needs to be passed back up the supply chain or it'll never be corrected) and asking them to physically check their stock and see if they have any good ones. They ought to do this anyway or they'll be getting a lot more complaints!
Cheers
Nick
