tension-rod bushing life expectancy

[landtodd]

What's a ballpark life expectancy for the tension-rod bushings?

(I already put the fuel pump on an 80K mile replacement cycle . . .)

Mine lasted 75K on a 95Q, driven aggressively.

Were leaking at approx 80K, recently replaced.

We say 30-40k on upper links and 60k on tension rods is average but plus or minus 20k is range 40k-100k on latter.Really depends on roads, tires , vibration from mis/imbalances, number of brake/accelerations per mile.

If you think about it with a 70k warranty this is the expected life of nearly all components except maybe engine, transmission, diff everything else has a 60k warranty............why should things last longer!
