Anyone else had these go bad? Would a CRD be the same as other liberty's? I found a write up on another forum. I found lots of metal shavings inside them and the rubber seams to be rotted out and gone. Could you check the pics and confirm this is the rear ball joint bushings?

That's the one. They go bad around 100k or so with no lift. I hear that OEM is better.

Thanks. do you know if the OEM has all the pieces pressed in as needed? I would prefer to purchase the entire assembly. I do not have a press.

I got the wishbone from napa, less than 200 (140-ish couple years ago), comes with bushings and balljoint. It's same. As gassers.
