Bad Skyjacker Shock Bushings

[GM Jeeper]

Just passing the info along...

I replaced the rear shocks on my 2005 Jeep last week. I looked on Monday and the lower bushings were GONE! Called Skyjacker and found out that they got a bad batch from their vendor. They are sending out a full set, I should have them a few days. Lucky still had the old bushings to put back in to hold me over.

I wonder if Skyjacker and Rough Country come from the same factory. The lower rear shock bushings on mine were shot after less than 15k miles/11 months.

Can you say Daystar?

This is recently, but they got a batch in and didn't QC check them properly. When the bushings are put under any pressure they pretty much disintegrate within 30 seconds.

Sounds too recent a problem to have affected mine then. Must be lack of QC on the installation (me!)

I put a Rough Country lift on my CJ recently and haven't put the Jeep on the road yet ( 0 miles ). Is there some way to check my bushings for flaws? Does the Skyjacker have visual defects?
