Little this. Little that 4x4 Swap’d PreRunner

Those are bulging big time. Can happen when you grease them without loosening the arm bolt. See if you can loosen the UCA bolt/nut And they may retract a bit. When the bolt is torqued it doesn’t allow air or old grease to escape and can cause the bushings to balloon a bit. Loosen and articulate the suspension a bit to loosen the bushing. Re-grease and tighten to spec.

Holy crap! That bushing is stuffed. Do exactly what the guy above me said if not those bushings may already be past the point of saving.
