About 6 months ago I replaced the front sway bar and link bushings on the Suburban, my wife drives it 99.8% of the time and is a very conservative driver. Sunday is the only day that I drive it and noticed that the handling has gotten worse every time I drove it, recently my wife even complained that it wanders and sways and is difficult to keep in a straight line.

So here is what I noticed when we got home from Church yesterday....sway bar bushings are falling apart and the link bushings were almost rotted away to nothing. These are about 6 months old! The Energy Suspension bushings have been on my Avalanche for two years and still look new even though I drive like I'm on a autocross course full time!





This has nothing to do with Moog but I found the source of the drive line vibration on the highway (more like a humming noise) Here is what a 220K transmission mount looks like.

 

My tranny mount was completely destroyed (170k). Rides so smooth with the new one replaced last week. Very valuable part at only $14!

Find the reason for the moog bushings to do that?

 

Better go put Duralast parts on it!

 

Here is the slacker that sold me the parts!!!

 

Looks like installer error to me

 

Did (un-named auto parts store chain) train you to say that when someone complains about made in Taiwan parts?
