Default Quick question, RC x-flex arms!

Alright i've been going back and fourth with these x-flex arms and i am trying to decide if they are the best decision for me at this point. my biggest problem with the arms are the joints, i don't want something that needs to be maintained all the time as this is my daily driver. I wanted to know if any of you have tried swapping the x-flex joint for metal cloaks duroflex joint? if they fit i believe i may keep the arms.

thanks for any info

I had the RC X-Flex arms on my 09. I lubed them well when I first installed them and then everytime I changed the oil. While the oil was draining I lubed them didn't add any extra time. They use a standard zerg fitting and most lube shops should be able to lube them for you if change your oil at one. No issues during the 25000 miles I had them.
