    Hey guys, I am looking to upgrade to better Shocks in the future. I am waiting to buy them during the Black Friday deals or Christmas deals, in the mean time I just want to replace the bushings where the shock mounts to the Lower Control Arm. Does anyone know where the sale after market bushings or does anyone have some bushings laying around that they want to get rid of? I don't know if it matters but these are 2017 OEM Bilstein Tacoma shocks. Reason being is that the Bushings are warping, resulting in loud squeaking noises that I would like to get rid of ASAP!!

    If you're going to buy new shocks next month, just save your money and put it towards them. I don't know anyone who is replacing bushings on bilsteins. Im not saying a bushing doesnt exist, but they're generally inexpensive enough where people are just swapping in new shocks. If you insist, I would recommend calling bilstein to see if they even sell that separately.

    Well the truck makes sense, but the finish on the shocks didn't hold up very good.
