Picture of the gum rubber stock shock bushings.
Note displaced center sleeve! So bad that the bottom of the shock shows a flat spot where it was hitting the lower a-arm.
I don't know if this was an original replacement bushing that I had on the car for a short while or if it was an original.....was hard to tell the difference after only about 6-9 months!
QA1 ball style bushing on right...these tend to come apart, so get the metal version if you go this route!
