so the other day i installed new shock towerbushings on my 73...and today i checked on em after driving for a little while, and one was cracked and the othert one looked 'skinned', with just the center part still on there. they wernt any special bushings or anything, just rubber..did i just put the nuts on too tight? (didnt seem too tight)

 

Maybe just some poorly made bushings? I cant think of any reason that these would fail so fast,,,,

Maybe they were Chinese?

 

thats kinda what i was thinking...Ive never heard of them braking so easily cuz i really dont drive that hard...only other thought i had was mabeye weak shocks/springs? all the suspension is original...
