Sucked in Bushings on Mopar 2inch lift Control Arms, were thy like that when new??

[Uparms]

Swapped my front control arms back to factory control arms this weekend and had the opportunity to compare bushings on 10K factory control arms and 20K miles Mopar 2 inch lift Control Arms. Do you remember if the bushings on the Mopar 2 inch lift Control Arms were sucked in like this?? They were not giving me any ride problems. The clean one is the stock part, the two dirty are the Mopar lift arms.

That’s the way they are supposed to look.

Here’s a picture from another thread of a new set compared to stock.

With how they are made… allows just a little bit more flex with the longer arms

Yes. Like was mentioned...that allows that arm to articulate more without binding or "extruding" the rubber in chunks. It doesnt scream "longevity" though. Depends on the material they used I suppose...
