Lower Control Arms Bushings Worn Out Aleady?

[rcalzadilla]

Looking for good, long-lasting lower control arms. Moog?
The present set is already worn out/rubber separated from steel. Were installed 10k miles (4 yrs ago) which seems to be a short time ago.
Any and all information is greatly appreciated.

First of all, don't be afraid to consider why they are wearing out so early.
-Are we putting new bushing into parts that are worn/loose?
-Is the PT lowered?? That can make them take a beating. Driving on rough, potholed roads?
-I always replace with upgraded aftermarket suspension parts when I can; like Moog or Urethane Energy Suspension bushings.

Hasn't been as long for my bushings so don't know if they're any better. Did you have yours rotated in the correct position?

Thanks Macgyverman!

That picture was taken quickly, just after I had removed the jackstand to lower it!
Good catch!
