Ever see anything like this? Dislodged bushing. Passenger rear, lower CA. All others are good. I've contacted FT to inquire if this is under warranty. Waiting to hear back. If not, probably start swapping out for Rock Krawler, maybe. Only for their warranty. My concern with RK, is the inevitable noise issue.

I would guess it would be salvageable by just changing out the bushing. Curious to see what they say.

I just dug around on their site. If they don't replace, no big deal. I bought FT for the rebuildable components. The new bushing is $15. Now, I have a reason to buy a press!

After speaking with Full Traction one time, they explained in detail what pitfalls to avoid, what can cause a bushing failure, took my word for it that I installed them correctly and with zero hesitance, sent me two new control arm bushings at no cost to me for the parts or shipping. Research in who you choose to buy from pays off. They also offered me to visit them on my next visit to Bakersfield.

They got a pretty bad reputation a while back, my kit has been fine.
