The problem is in general inserts significantly underperform the OE part they replace. Since they fit inside the housing of the OE part, everything must be smaller which means more heat and weight, and less of everything else.
More:
Heat
Weight
Deflection/slop
Wear
Less:
Shaft diameter
Valve pack area
Throw
Fluid volume
Cooling
Gas volume

If you have absolutely no other choices, so be it, but if you have any other choices that involve an OE or larger size damper, do it instead of an insert.

Exactly my sentiment.
