Suggest NHBB as a replacement - in my hands they seem to last the longest but YMMV.

I have had spherical bearing toelinks installed for years.....but the car never sees winter. I also have boots covering them so this may prevent grit ingress and wear

Some here. Admittedly the mileage has not been high over the 5+ years and it doesn't see a lot of we or salty weather. I had Fluoros.
