Default Control Arm Bushings

Was just at my local mechanic and he noticed that both the control arm bushings are shot on my pt. Took it to my dc dealership and ask them how could they have missed this as i was just there 2 days ago getting a ailment done. My question is , do the bushings wear out that fast, i only just hit 31,000 km.[:I]

Had mine checked at 40,000 miles and they were as good as new according to my mechanic who was replacing shocks and struts and adding a rear sway bar for me at the time. I heard by rummor that UK Cruisers were going thru bushings every 20,000km. Have not heard much on US (Mexico) Cruisers. Where was yours made??[:I] Maybe it is the road conditions??[:I]

SteelBlue your right. I'm on the UK site alot. Seems like overseas and maybe now the Canadian cruisers must be using bushings from a different supplier than the Mexico PT's and they don't seem to last. I just past 71,000 on mine and they're still in good shape. Here's a recent photo.
