Evening All, I have an issue with cracking front lower shock absorber bushes on my early 90. I am currently restoring it & these were fitted new about 18 months ago, not on the road yet so obviously not had any use yet. I noticed today there are cracks in them, surely this can't be right? The shocks & bushes came from one of the main spares dealers, can't remember which, might these be cheap far east knock off's? Is this going to be an MOT problem when the time comes hopefully in a couple of months. Any reason for this to happen? Any ideas appreciated thanks.
Agreed, the annoying part about this is that they came from a reputable supplier, I tend to use only the likes of Paddocks/Island/Craddocks etc, they certainly weren't genuine but I would have thought a decent quality aftermarket.

You could change them for polys if you can get them. But you may have to buy a complete polybush kit.
Or if you can beg/borrow/ steal some old large polybushes, you could cut them out of the poly material with a sharp knife.

Good plan, What they can't see can't hurt em!
Thanks for all the feedback, will sleep on it and look at the various options later on.
