So around 6 months after installing the springs, the bushings are mauled....I used poly grease when installing the bushings and used it liberally! The front bushing on the driver side spring is already walking the entire spring back and forth over 1/2" when steering side to side as the drag link pushes and pulls the spindle.

Anyone else have issues like this?

Since Skyjacker decided to use a unique bushing size, I haven't been able to find a better bushing...does anyone know of an option to fix this?

Since I bought the springs at Summit, ill likely return them if I can't find a good solution, and go with a set of Nationals, Alcans or Deavers springs since I still have to get rid of the blocks in the rear in favor of springs as well...
