suspension bushing up-date
I put new TRF rubber suspension bushings in my front suspension in April. I noticed last night that a couple of the bushings (upper A arms) are already falling apart. Is it expected that some of the rubber compressed by the washer on the fulcrum bracket will shear off (ie it is excess material that is not actually "suspending" the car), or is this a sign of premature failure due to poor quality product, poor quality installation by me, or some other insidious force at work?
