Keep an eye on the splines, though.  I had just backed out of the driveway
when mine failed, so no real drama; but it could have been a lot worse on
the freeway.

And make sure the special nuts that hold the adapters are tight.  They are
supposed to be torqued to 65 ftlb, which tighter than usual for steel
wheels.  I didn't even know I had a problem until the car went sideways on
an off-ramp.
