2016 Cascadia, Time to do suspension bushings?

If you get through Kentucky at all. 1-65 exit 86 Glendale Ky.Shop next to the Pilot. William is the Managers name. I think he’s working evenings now. They’re no longer 24 hrs. William knows his stuff. He’s honest, and won’t do any work that’s not needed. They have the Tiger tool. Labor for all 4 was 3 hrs. As I recall. I bought the parts from Truck Pro. About the same price as Dealerships originals. If you’re getting the wear plates done, you’ll need all new UBolts, and spring will need to come off anyways. That can get expensive. The ATRO anti walk bushings seem good. The design theory is anyway. They don’t move or walk like stock bushings. I’ll say they also say don’t swivel well, I notice that when jacking it up after having them installed. I assume they do swivel while driving though. Original rubber bushings will have a softer ride. The ATROs are solid hard polyurethane. I don’t know the symptoms of a bad wear plate. I think it’s supposedly caused from the Ubolts not getting re torqued after a few thousand miles when Trucks new. Symptoms of bad bushings are the inside dual wearing uneven. Same as Trailer bushings.

 

Is it Riggs Garage? I’m trying to locate it and talk to William,

 

Used to be Road Squad. Now it’s called Pilot Truck care, looks like. Not sure if he’s still working there. Just looking at mine. They need doing again. It’s been less than 7 yrs. You can see the bad one in top pic. ( right side rear axle again) vs the left side. Might be because the spring hole was worn out of round. Left side still looks good. I think I need a new spring. If they weren’t the anti walk, might be loose and moving back and forth. I’m not very impressed with the Atro Poly bushings. The motor mounts didn’t last long. I’ve heard of them causing vibrations. Just the anti walk part seems like a good idea. I don’t think they actually last any longer than they regular original rubber ones.Anyways I-65 exit 86, the building next to Pilot. Closed today.

 

I appreciate it bud, helps out a lot. I’m on my way to Georgia this Monday so I’ll try to see if I can find him.
