I just replaced them a few months ago, along with the venturi side... Just prior to the in frame.

Good deal. Maybe it is just the oil that is saturating them? -- They just looked old and weakened in those pics to me.

Just make sure you get all the oil out of them and clean them up well. Also make sure they still have some stiffness to them when putting them back on. If they are too pliable, they could fail when you need them the most.

Thanks Rawze, they are a bit soft, not to the point of collapse, but I will keep an eye on them for sure.
