02 1500 Quad. Originals are shot, with the rubber 'oozing' out the sides at either end... Energy suspension makes a replacement set but they are only inserts where you torch out the rubber and then push in the poly replacement portion and bolt tube vs the OE design where its a bonded one piece steel/rubber/steel bushing.
I have reservations about using the poly because of some very dissapointing results from using the aftermarket replacement control arm bushings on the Shadow (cast arm setup) and subsequently I went to the dealer and got a set of oem bushings to replace those awful POS things sold by the aftermarket. I dont want to make that mistake twice but to get and install new OE type bushings will require a press among other things and buying more tools to use only once isnt really something I want to do.
(There are no shops around here who will just do the pressing out/in portion of the job)
Has anyone here used the energy stuff on their truck ?
