They are sympathetic to each other.  :)

But really, consider that they may very will be of the same age so may
well expire at around the same time.

Drive safe but don't be too afraid of babying it, If they need to be
replaced ( after how many years now? ) then swap the puppies out.

Question for the list and parts suppliers in general:  Are there
different quality CVs? Any to tend toward or avoid?
