Default cracking daizen sway bar bushings
has anybody had their daizen front sway bar bushings crack? i just took them off this afternoon to regrease and one of them had a crack/split right on where it opens up.

is this normal? i've only had them for about a year. does the daizen warranty cover this?

Many aftermarket have failed, including the TRD version. I'm wondering why no one reported that OEM has failed. So much for thicker aftermarket sways. You should contact daizen for a replacement as a defect.

Guys, it's the bushings that failed, not the bar
