Lippert never fail bushings

I’m going to have subj bushings installed on my Sierra. I was just wondering if anybody else has ever heard of them or has them installed because they are new. I think. Supposedly they take the place of wet bolts and bronze bushings. They do sound too good to be true and I’m sure they will wear out eventually (maybe after 15 years ) but they say they last the life of the RV. Install is 255$. The bushings are 70$. Wet bolt kit and install is 650$. Big diff in price. I know u get what you pay for but I’m sure I have to do something, I’m sure my nylon bushings are mostly wore out. I guess you really never know if they work good unless you get a loose suspension some day. Anyone else considering these I will be glad to let u know in a year or two how it went.

Your labor $$$ will be the same for either kit.

I bought my morryde wet bolt kit with HD shackles for like $90. Either way you go will be much quieter suspension.

Love them!

I had no-fail bushing on a 2007 coachman for 60k+ miles! still good when I traded for my 2017 Lacrosse. Plan to switch to these within the next 2 years!

I installed a set of these when I had the alignment system installed. Only been out one time since installation so I don't have any experience to fall back on except some of the original bushings were fairly worn after 6000 miles. Hopefully these new ones will last a long long time.

Just wanted to let all know that it’s been 4 years and they are all still doing there job! They quit manufacturing these but you could still find some and I just ordered another set for someday IF I ever need them again. The Rv suspension shop said they are still doing good and my suspension is tight.
