Rancho 9000 bushing problems
The lower bushings on my front shocks have worn down enough to cause up/down and side-side movement when in motion. These shocks have less than 15k on them and I don't take it off road. Is this common or could there be another cause?

The bushings on most off the shelf shocks are junk. Pull the shocks off, replace the bushings and then crank them down tight when you put them back on. Take a look at the clearance between the bushing and the lower mount....you might need to slip a thin washer in there to take up the slack.

Anyone know where I can get bushings that will match and hold up longer? A part # would be sweet.
