Yes they came out like that. I noticed the one crack but did not realize they were all cracked up like that. Funny the cracks were all lined up so they still were holding up the truck.

I have a front end shake at around 45 mph, it was partly due to a bad hub also but the hub did not solve all the shake. Also my 2 front tire completely wore out on the inside in about a year while the rear tires are still perfect. I am in the middle of putting in OME shocks and springs, steering damper, doing all 4 pads and rotors and bought 2 new front tires. Hopefully this solves my issues.

Yeah I did not require a cutting torch that's for sure. Getting the new springs in took some stretching though. I can't wait to feel the difference.
