Hey everyone, I bought some Strano springs and Koni Str.t's a while back and have had them installed for something like 1500 miles now and noticed the lower bushing seems to be expanding. The car is just a DD and has never seen the track. So far it doesn't seem to affect performance and the only reason I even noticed was when replacing some sway bar mounts. I emailed Strano a few days ago to see if he has run into this before and haven't gotten a response yet. Pics attached of the passenger side front shock. The driver side is unaffected and the rears are similar to the front but not protruding as much.

My SRT.T Right front is doing exact same thing.

Completely normal. That bushing has to flex with suspension movement, and it's painted, and cracked bright orange paint makes it seem like an issue. It isn't.
