Lippert - You can do better than this.
I was hearing some creaking and groaning coming out of the suspension of my two year old fifth wheel. So I dropped one of the springs and examined the bushing. I was really disappointed that Lippert...

To be fair... It's not just Lippert. They all use the same nylon bushings.
I just replaced my axles last year. While I was at it I upgraded to the Never Fail bushings. My old Nylon bushings had held up suprisingly well. Only a couple were getting bad. Not sure why they did so well, as we are not easy on it and tow a lot of miles too.
I hear reports of people getting over 50K on the Never Fails. I probably had over 40K on the Nylons... Go figure.
I had the bronze wet bushings on my last TT. It seemed to eat bushings as the nylon ones were trashed... The bronze ones didn't hold up a whole lot better.... That TT was a lot lighter as well....
Go figure.
So when I saw the Never Fails on the market, I decided to give them a try. So far so good.
I will point out one thing I have noticed on all of my TTs. The equalizer center/habger bushing is always the first to go... By a lot.
Probably be a good ideas to check/replace that one on a regular schedule.
