Default cusco A-arm rubber cracking?

i was just adjusting my front camber last weekend, i noticed the rubber on the pivot joint was cracking a bit.

anyone else notice this on theirs? is this due to it drying out?

Wassup Cheston, the cusco's are known to crack at that place. I was about to buy some used ones that were exactly like what you just described. I don't know if it will hurt performance but you're not the first to have this problem.

Cheston - seems some have had this issue after a few years. Not sure yet what its due to (mine are pre-production units and mine are still fine ater a ton of miles). We've got the replacement ball joints coming in shortly, I'll ring ya once they land

Ozone destroys rubber so replacemnt of all oem and after market rubber bushings every 2-3 years needs to be budgeted if you demand perfection and as new performance.
