What was happening to yours? I have about 30k on mine, and they all seem fine. I haven't been under it for a while though.

Nice write up. I never got around to doing the write-up for my rear install, although I still have the pictures on my phone.

My bushings have also lasted with no issue.

What is the function of the second hole in the rear lower control arm directly next to where the strut bolts in? It appears to be there for adjustability but I've never seen anyone mention it before?
