Bilstein Shock Bushes
Has anyone else had issues with theirs cracking and splitting? I noticed today when I was doing my monthly head under the car to check and grease bits.

I bought my shocks last year but only put them on June, I've done about 3k since then 80% on the road and 20% rattling about the farm roads (just grass and un paved but not rough).

How do you guys find super pro bushes? Not sure whether to go for genuine or super pro to replace my 20yr old bushes.

Also regarding the bilsteins my bilstein bushes have done the same with very few milees on them. Especially the fronts

I love the super pros, I’ve got the lot on the front bar the panhard rod as have a new OE rod. They aren’t harsh and make it a lot more stable under braking and corners.

I’ve run super pro and super flex on every car I’ve owned once the OE ones have failed, I wouldn’t fit anything else.
