Dobinsons suspension faults

[mike1303]

Hey fellas,

I recently had my truck in to have the front bushes both top and bottom replaced.
It would appear there was a bad batch, as my local shop has had 3 in to be rectified all installed around the same time.
If anyone has these just keep an eye on the bushes and keep contact with your installer as to possible warranty replacements.


As a side note I have snake racing spacers installed in the front and they company wouldn't warrant the bushes due to the night pressures they put in the shocks. Those with these installed beware!


Luckily for me the bloke warranted them for me and bore the cost on the job.


Thanks for your time guys

Mick

Interesting. I had Dobinsons on my FJ Cruiser I owned four years ago (yeah yeah I know, no need to bag me for owning and FJ) and in the first 2 years after they were fitted the bushes had to be replaced twice and a mate who had the same shocks on his FJ bought at the same time had to replace his once.

When they failed and I went to get them replaced I was just told "yeah that can happen, they are consumables". Sadly I didn't live is a country with consumer protection laws worth having at the time.
