OEM part is prone to this premature wear, supposedly uses nylon in the socket joint that wears, and no lubrication is possible on this sealed joint.

If the left side goes, will do the same, and don't expect to need to do it ever again.
Nov 2018 66400 mi	P1289 engine code came up for the first time in the 9 years of ownership immediately after taking it in for the annual state inspection. Figured it had to have been something done during the inspection, but couldn't see any possible causes for this. The code indicates a cylinder head temperature out of range reading. It is intermittent, going away after a few seconds, and I can clear it with an onboard scan tool. May take several days to weeks before it pops up again, and the temperature gauge is seen to read full cold until it recovers after a few seconds back to the normal midrange operating temperature. So far nothing needed except a reset of the pending code indication; monitoring until it becomes persistent and stays on long enough to look at.
