Did you know that 38% of the vehicles on the road today are at least 10 years old? Did you also know that 31% of all vehicles on the road are trucks and SUVs? In today's economy, people are hanging on to their vehicles much longer than in years past. Higher mileage vehicles mean more wear and tear in general and a greater likelihood that the suspension bushings have exceeded their intended lifespan. Anti-sway bar bushings, control arm bushings, and track bar bushings are particularly prone to failure. Worn suspension bushings can lead to all sorts of uncomfortable and often usafe handling characteristics.
Also keep Daystar in mind when modifying older vehicles. For example, aftermarket leaf spring lift kits almost never include replacement shackle bushings even though the bushings on these vehicles are virtually guaranteed to be worn out. These same applications are also certain to need anti-sway bar bushings. Adding these inexpensive components will dramatically improve the finished result of any project.
