OME problem

[apcoleman]

So I was under the cruiser the other day and I look back at my driver side rear shock and my jaw dropped. I could believe what I saw. The lower bushing was trash. I have had the lift on for about a year and a half and I checked all the others and they were fine. I ordered a new OME bushing but until then I am using the bushing that came with the stock shocks which were fine. I guess I am asking has anyone seen this happen before and what would have caused this? Thanks

hmmmmmm......i'm checking mine too! I've had my lift for about 2 years. I may go to bilstein shocks next time around.

I can only guess that they did not fit the bolts or the mountings. Damage like that comes from movement.

Damn, that sucks.

Did you put that lift on?

I didn't have time to put it on myself so I had it installed by a local shop that has done work on my parents cars for a long time. They take their LX and everything else there and have never had a problem before. I wonder if I just got a bad bushing?

That is consistant with a loose mount.
