defiantely not, my stock ones are 6 years old now and aren't warn much at all. What kind of conditions do you ride it? Do you grease the splines?

Put a light layer of grease on the splines when you put them on and make sure you axel nuts are tight at all times.

Your hub nuts are coming loose. When there loose, then the hubs have a little play. That turns into big play, then it strips.
Get new hubs and axle and torque them properly. Then keep an eye on it.

yea grease the splines when you get a new axle and hubs. it eliminated the play for me as long as you torque proberly.
