Beware what lurks below!

This is pretty bad. Imagine how many people are out there now driving with their t/c bushings about to crumble.

That's a pretty scarry thought Ed! I guess that would put a little excitement in one's day!!?

Yes, and now sourcing them (oem style) appears to be only from used. These were covered with rubber undercoating making the condition of the washers unapparant. Do yourself a favor and take a serious look at the ones on your car!

Sounds like an excellent idea to me.
