Life of suspension rubber bushes??

Dave, I can't do that 19 years ago

Hi people,

Just put new tires on and had an alignment check to make sure of no excess tire wear. The heads of the rubber bushes in the top suspension arms look pretty crappy. The guy doing the alignment said they were fine.

Any mechanics out there that have an approximate time period to replace rubber bushes or do you just fix it when it is broken? It's a '95 1500 that I bought used in '98 so I am guessing they are the originals.

Thanks in advance.

The exposed part always looks like hell. It is the part that you can't see that matters. I'm sure that the guy doing the alignment would have loved to have sold you new bushings if they were needed.
