Rekcah (or anyone that has done this mod)

Is there a way to tell if this mod has been accomplished on a car without pulling it all apart? I bought mine used almost a year ago with 85K on the clock and haven't had any sticking problems, but I don't want to get stranded somewhere either. I also don't want to spend a couple of hours pulling stuff apart only to find I didn't have to.

Thanks in advance!!
