Let me start off by saying yes, I know how to use the search function and yes I know that my OEM Toyota bushing lasted 20+years.
Most of the posts from guys posting using aftermarket bushings end with "I can't believe your such a stupid piece of $hit, even your whore mother knows to only use OEM bushings". Or "Of course they still look new it has only been 6 months you sorry excuse for a human being, your mother should have swallowed you"
Common sense says that $4 bushings found on ebay are probably not going to last. And I have a feeling that a lot of the guys that say their aftermarket bushings failed in a year are referring to those bushings.
But what I want to collect is data on how many of you have aftermarket bushings installed, what brand they are, and how long they have been in so we can compile a list based on evidence if anything out there is of OEM quality. And at the end if there is no good contenders as far as brands go then so be it. If you have had bushings fail on you brand and your typical driving conditions would be good useful data as well.
Please leave your keyboard warrior comments for the general forums when someone makes a comment about politics.
And if your only comment is "Just go OEM.." thanks for your opinion, I appreciate it, I really do. But I am looking for facts not opinions.
Thanks everyone.
