With 125K miles, I can tell by the handling that mine are shot. They
LOOKED shot long, long ago judging by the cracks in the visible parts.
I would say they really lasted until about 100K.
It looks to be quite a job to replace these - at least on a 4x4 - and
certainly not a job I want to do very often. If I replace the bushings
with stock, I'll be looking at doing this again in only a couple of
years. The off-road shops don't have any listings for urethane bushings
up front (though Energy Suspension does have a kit for the rear leaf
springs).
Anyone ever done something like this on an A-arm equipped truck?
