Default Koni Orange Bushing Question

I installed some Koni Orange shocks with BMR springs back in 2022. The RF was squeaking bad so I warrantied it. Its good (maybe 400km on it since change), the Lefit side if i push down on front makes a light squeak, but it seems after a drive its gone (I suspect upper seal gets a little dry from sitting) - The bushing "spread" looks more on LF then on the newer RF, is this all look normal to you or do you see any problems?

looks fine to me, they all spread a little bit. i had horrendous squeaks coming from my front suspension and it ended up being the LCA bushings. replaced both with Moogs and all was well.

Thanks man.

I did new lower LCA, upper LCA, whole front ends new. Car drives great just saw that bushing. As mentioned when I push down on front it makes very light squeek but if I push and rock car a bunch of times and it gets moving the noise goes away - so I think its just the upper seal gets slightly dry from sitting for a period of time, but thought id ask!
