RE LCA bushings cracking

[def.ho]

ok.. so i noticed this the other day when i installed RE 5.5 coils to ditch the ginormous spacers i was using.. the upper bushings on the LCAs are cracking pretty badly.. these were purchased new only two years ago. is that normal?? seems pretty crappy to me.

I think they recommend replacing twice a year or every 6 months?

Not sure why, the factory bushings usually last a lifetime in excess of 13 years before they wear.

mine started cracking after 2 months

I just replaced the lower bushings on my TNT long arm(large RE bushing) and they are already cracking. Rumor is that RE got a bad batch from India or something.

Same here, cracking in about 2 months,

and more we have many twintube Re shocks that go rusty in few months, Did anybody noticed that too?
