I noticed the difference between the drivers side and the passenger side tonight in the rubber part. The passenger side seemed all crummed up. I took some pictures, but they didn't turn out very well because of being underneath the car and so close and all.Passenger:

From what I can tell it looks like it's time for new ones... that bulging in the first one looks a little odd - I wouldn't trust it... Usually they leak a sticky dark grey substance - I assume they're liquid filled like the Q.

yeah the first one is the one I was worried about. I figured that they were liquid filled, but I couldn't find any sign of a leak, unless it all leaked out years ago. It looks like an easy job to replace, but I'll do it when I'm replacing my sway bars.
