Oh it's not going to break or anything like that. It's just very annoying, that's whay everyone changes it. It is a poorly designed part, but there is no threat of breakage or damage due to the steering shaft knocking and bumping around.

I can actually attest that it IS a NEW design with a sealed lube chamber with dry-slide lube instead of liquid based lube.
