Installed 1300 miles or 4 months ago new Rancho's. Noted last W/E that all the collars of the orange plastic bushings have crackled on the circumference of the lips, holding the shocks in place.
In calling Rancho's Tech Service, I was asked if the bushings have been greased with Silicone grease when installed. I told that I did not see the garage do it. Was told that this should be done. There is no bulletin or installation remark to be found on the use of Silicone grease. Rancho agreed to change all bushings out under Warranty and indicated to investigate if they had a bad batch of bushings.
