there may be other issues that caused the factory one to go, but regardless I feel somewhat wary replacing the oem guibo that just went with another oem guibo that could go in a similar fashion.

great advice man, thanks.
Since I know you're being a smart ass here, I'll expand on my comments. Take your driveshaft to a driveline shop and check the balance of the shaft. Feel your u-joints. How's the center support bearing? Make sure all of your engine and transmission mounts are good. Also, I've seen shops make the mistake of putting the arrows facing the wrong way on a guibo which will kill it much more quickly than anything else.
Basically, it all boils down to that unless you are making so much torque you are twisting guibos to shreds, the stock one is all you need and if you're having a premature failure of that component, you need to look elsewhere for the issue.
that was the exact answer I was looking for in the first place. thank you.

The OE guibo is the highest quality part you can get. Aftermarket guibos are either equivalent to or inferior to the factory part. You get what you pay for here. I will go to the dealer and buy one from them before I waste my time and money on any aftermarket part.
