Brand new tension rod bushings split after 10 miles


Recommended Posts

I have a 280z that I recently finished building.  On the tension rods I installed brand new bushings.  Rubber on the front side and poly on the back, as I believe was recommended by several people here.  Torqued the nut to 40ftlbs.  I was just under the car for something else and noticed that the rear bushings on both sides are split very badly.  This is after only about 10 miles of driving.  Wondering how this could be.   I will switch the rear bushings to rubber but still want to know how this could have happened.

 

Comments welcome
