the truck developed a squeek about a month ago... i tracked it down to the right front lower shock mount bushing. its polyurethane and coming apart like an old eraser. theres about an inch of play in the bushing. am i looking at new front shocks, or can i just replace the bushing?

 

anyone? unfotunately my beater is out of commission, and im having to drive the truck.and im broke. how much damage am i doing by continuing to drive it? and as to my former question, can the bushing just be replaced or do i need new shocks? responses appreciated.

 

shocks aren't very expensive, if the bushing are worn out just find some good used ones for cheap.

If you can't afford $20 or less per shock then any auto place should have something you could rig up.

 

thanks for responding, it has a 3/5 drop(i was told)i noticed some sets, front and back for fairly cheap ob ebay.does the brand matter? are ebay shocks crap? i canr remeber the brand, but i hadnt heard of it

 

nobody

 

It has to be better than what you have now. Anything would be better, so go with price if you're truly that strapped.
