Are those stock shocks? If so this has been a fairly common issue with the front upper shock bushings.

I switched from Sahara shocks to Rubi shocks...when I installed the spring leveling kit.

These were in good shape 3 weeks ago when I installed the shocks

I've seen several posters on here even with brand new jk's this happened to. Dissappearing bushings. Seems like there are some bad batches out there or something, crack and fall off. It's been awhile since anyone has posted about this though. Just use the rubbers off your other shocks.

Wish I could...just got rid of those...so ordered the replacement parts...but I am just worried it will happen again.
