    OEM will get you another 20 years.

    Aftermarket will get you a year or two.

    OEM is way cheaper per mile.

    Your choice.

    With such an important repair, I would not even entertain aftermarket. In fact, its a blessing that they have not discontinued the OEM stuff and still produce it.
