After replacing my front shocks, we found the left- bottom rubber bushing, attached to the A-arm, is cracked. The shock must be moving because of the bad bushing.... How is it replaced?? ( 2005 Yukon XL - 4WD )

look for shock mount bushing - Moog has them. a bit of a pain. remove the shock, and get a bushing press in there to remove and install. I think you will have to experiment a bit. I've not done this, but I'm now going to look at mine this weekend

Thanks..... I am not noticing any issues, because of the bad bushing, ...Maybe the problem is slight? Maybe it might seem better when it is replaced? Hard to tell, but I don't like worn out stuff.

Thanks for reminding me about Moog.

Looks like the Oreilly's supply chain is about empty. Moog K6724 But Walmart offers them at 18.00
