i don't know the durometer of these bushings compared to other aftermarket choices, but its a problem that can rear its head in other applications, such as sports cars, where stock bushings with engineered-in-compliance are replaced with performance bushings that are too stiff, which then cause bind which gets worse the further through the travel range the suspension cycles.

really glad it failed in a mostly drama free fashion for you....that could have been a Code Brown for sure.
