Some people have made it over 100k miles on original TA's. It's not that difficult to replace them, so I don't see the point on dropping that much money on something that's not broken yet.

First time around, I bought the TA from dealership. Second time I got it from FCP and will just replace them as needed with their warranty. Not too familiar with these upgraded parts if I'm completely honest.
I know for sure one of them were replaced, just wasn't sure if it was both when I bought the car in 2018, less than 7k miles since. I have to find the paperwork or scan codes with a better scanner to see any codes. My cheapo $20 scanner didn't pull any codes regarding that, only DTC inactivated.
