I replaced the old one which was shot about 20 months ago and the thing is shot again. I dont know why, but nevertheless, I need to reapair it again.

Why are these things plastic when it is located right next to the hot exhaust manifold?? Are there any tougher ones out there, ie, spherical bearing, etc..?

Why would this thing wear out so fast?
