Anyone else had this happen? The rubber bushings seem to have just worn away at one end, let it slide out and the shock moving all over the place. This was caused by driving on a 10 mile, mild dirt road. They will be getting a call tomorrow.

 

You get what you pay for Rough Country has come full circle from a cheap suspension company to a decent aftermarket manufacturer. But still their leaf springs bend because they are cheap and parts have failed on several freinds Jeeps. They are not bad but you just get what you pay for. I hope they fix it for you! Please keep us posted and tell about their customer service.

 

Sorry to hear about the shocks. I can't help you but I've been eyeing some of these up myself. How did you like them prior to the failure? I'll keep an eye out on this thread

 

i just installed a 4" kit with the 2.2 shocks and im shakeing in my boots just looking at those pics. let us know what the end results are so if it happens to fail any one else. WE can be on top of it. good luck!

 

My friend just installed the 2.5" RC lift with these shocks this past Friday and the SAME EXACT thing happened!! He called them and they are shipping new bushings to him at no charge...BUT, he went to Auto Zone and bought some better/beefier ones for a few bucks and hasn't had a problem...yet.

 

Did the cross pin come installed or did you have to put them in ?

 

thanks for the support guys. once i call them tomorrow i will let everyone know how it goes. i like the shocks a lot, but if i get new bushings and the same thing happens again, i might be looking for a new company......

 

i think on my friend's he had to install them himself...said they were kinda loose, but the new bushings he got from AutoZone are MUCH tighter and stronger.

 

there's no need to shake anything. I'm not saying this is good, but they're just shocks., I'm sure they're not that expensive.

 

I just looked at mine, which I installed a couple months ago. I haven't had a chance to wheel it, yet, and mine aren't showing that type of wear. However, I can see where, on both sides, the bushing is butted up against the metal of the shock tower on both rear shocks. This looks like it may be the source of the problem.
