Are my lower shock mount bushings shot?
I was swapping over my summer tires yesterday and snapped a couple pics of the lower shock mounts to give you guys something to look at.
Should I be seeing light through them??

Nope!
I replaced the lower bushes when I changed the shocks and drop-links a few years ago - got aftermarket bushes which fit quite well but the central sleeve hole was a bit on the sloppy side for the lower shock bolt ...so maybe something to keep in mind ...
OTOH the outer sleeve was very tight, even on the old ones I removed so if you're seeing light, something is definitely amiss!
