Default Teraflex 4" sway bar end link bushing problems?

Has anyone else experienced any issues with premature failure of the sway bar end link bushings on the JK with the short arm Teraflex lift? 2012 JKUR with 24,xxx miles. Lift has been on for only about 12kmiles... The top bushing on the drivers side is completely gone on the top side of the end link eye hole. Seems way too early for failure and all other bushings appear as new. Thanks in advance.

Default Update

I see quite a few views on this thread with no comments so i wanted to post an update. Joe is a man of his word. I received two new end links yesterday. No hassle and no drama. Now my JKUR is back to driving good. I've always like Teleflex products and this one of the main reasons. They stand behind the products they provide to us! A company that practices this kind of customer service is definitely worth the money. Thanks Joe and Teleflex

TeraFlex is great to deal with

It seems the common failure to the bushings is if they are left ungreased. I typically grease all my arms and links every 3,000 mi.

Mine looked the same way at the 12k mark too but I haven't replaced them yet. It's almost inspection time and last time they were flagged as a "recommended" repair. Might be time to bite the bullet.

I contacted Joe with pics and was blown away by the response! I've never had better customer service/support than what I experienced with Teraflex! Just got replacement sway bar links/bushings in the mail today, emailed Joe on Monday. Awesome, awesome.
