Worn out bushings on lift kit, how bad are they?
Hey guys,
I recentley had a post on here about my truck squeaking when rocking side to side. Now its pretty loud but im pretty sure it is the bushings. I took it to a shop that does lifts and thats what we came up with.
My question is, it has been like this for about 3 weeks and i cant get it fixed for probably another few days. How bad is this? What damage am i doing if any, driving on them when they are bad?
One guy i had looking at it at another shop said the bushing was moving and is going to wear my tire wrong (which it looks like it is).
So besdies that, what damage am i doing driving it?

No i dont have any pics, and this is all very new to me. I know there is a problem because its pretty loud now and when i would grease up one of the grease joints it would go away. Now, i guess because its more worn, that doesnt help. The first mechanic i took it too could not find the problem, then called and said he found it and that it was a bushing set on the drivers side. So i ordered them for both sides and another shop will put them on. I just hope that really is the problem, i took his word for it but who knows. It sounds like if you were leaning back in a office chair or something, you know that squeak.
It should be fixed soon but i still do in town daily driving with it the way it is now.
There are so many more "noises" with a lifted truck that i think everyone is something going wrong!
