Front struts keep busting For some reason, my car keeps busting the bottom bushing out of the front strut, where it mounts to the LCA. Has anybody ever heard of this happening? I can't find any info on it. The struts usually last about a month before doing this. They are just parts store factory style struts. After they bust, they squeak like crazy. I do not have the money to buy high dollar struts, but was thinking I might be able to press the bushing out and put a poly one in there, it might hold up better. Something along these lines, these are for shocks, not struts btw. http://www.energysuspension.com/univ...-bushings.html

They are lifetime struts from Autozone. I know the alignment it off. I replaced the spindles thinking they could be bent, and it did the same thing after doing that and getting it aligned. I would like to do a complete tubular front and get some nice struts, but can't afford it.
Pretty sure the front shocks are bottoming out.
Have had customers in the past with the same issue and that was he end result.
Need to raise the car up to give the car some travel to work with.
