I Don't know what else to say i feel pretty pissed right now that i paid $200 for these things and they did not even last a year. I bought and installed them in late august and now they are destroyed. Maybe you guys should get under your cars and check yours.

Bitch to JBP, a lot. You will get a refund. This has happened to a few people already.

I'm glad you posted this. I'm in the market for mounts and bushings. Can anyone mention what are the best ones for quility?

BLKblurr06

are those the JBP ones? I would contact them, I think those should last longer than that. This happened to someone else here and I believe JBP replaced them, sometimes the polyurethane doesnt settle right or something like that. Not totally for sure so hopefully someone who knows will speak up.


I am too, I'll be going with the Intense CAB's and Tranny inserst, I read on their site that the inserts are formulated for less harshness and vibrations, I think Intense makes their own polyurethane products now instead of vending them through JBP, regardless I'm going with them since their shop is only about 30 minutes from where I live.

I think possibly the reason that these bushings yield low abuse tolerance is because perhaps they are formulated to be too "solid" less give means more wear IMO

yeah they are the jbp ones i think they only make them i am trying to see if i can get them replaced i hope so i would hate to be out $200 especially when i don't drive my car like a dick

intense sells jbp control arm bushings not there own i believe

BLKblurr06

I think Intense used to only carry JBP polyurethane products, but now I believe that they manufacture their own, JBP polyurethane is always formulated in only the color red as their signature. Intense says on their site that they formulate their own and the bushings/inserts are both black

i just saw that, its pretty cool

LopsidedJester

Did you feel any differences as those went bad? How did you find out that the CABs were so messed up?

lsjwannabe

iTrader: (1)

yes it wheel hops like crazy and i noticed when i had my wheel replaced under warranty a while ago that they were going to go bad i just did not think this soon.

distillion

im gonna check mine next time the car is in the air.

SLMDNV

Wow, I was in the market for some of these, but if they are gonna end up like that.....200 bucks is alot for something that should last alot longer than a year. Somebody at JBP or wherever they manufacture these needs to find out what is going on because this has happened to a few people and is obviously a problem. Let us know what happens.

i don't understand why the things would fall apart it's kind of annoying

soga831

It might be a no brainer for most of u, but where exactly is the arm bushing located? Pictures would help.

supermantxz24

i think Mine are messed up too. jbp will replace them

how did you know yours where messed up?what where the symptoms?

CobaltSS313

Its not even the fact of getting them replaced for free. Its the fact that you have to take time out of your day to replace them. Unless you payed to have them replaced which i doubt JBP would pay to get them replaced. I know CM didnt pay for fees due to their faulty clutches that were out on the market until they got the problem fixed. I'd hate to pay extra money to have something fixed to to someone elses bad product.

located close to the tire just look under the car you can see em

no symptoms until after my new clutch was put in becuase the thing would actually grip i would get wheel hop even sometimes in 1st

gonna keep an eye on this now on my car. What a bitch to have to do the same job twice because of an inferior product.

Witt

I've seen this happen to a local vehicle as well. Looked the same as the pics you posted, they lasted about a year if that.

LopsidedJester

i'm guessing JBP doesn't warranty those for any certain time. if i'd have known i'd have kept my stock because the CABs really don't do all that much and i'm not looking forward to getting another set pressed in. Ain't that about a bitch.

Also, are you sure some of that damage wasn't from getting them pressed out? I destroyed my original CABs getting them out.

lsjwannabe

iTrader: (1)

nope they were perfectly pressed and only taken out just recently. i had pictures while they were still installed and they still looked like ****. still no response from jbp now i am starting to get pissed

lsjwannabe

iTrader: (1)

yeah so it looks like jbp is not going to warrenty them becuase they still have not responded to my email's so i am really pissed. There products suck they were destoryed in 4 months on my car this is bs

SS33

That is ******* weak dude.

I need to take a look at mine I guess.

JBP needs to step up on this one. Did you buy them through JBP or another vendor?
(Mine came from Intense)

lsjwannabe

iTrader: (1)

mine came from intense as well before they started to vend there own

ItalianJoe1

iTrader: (10)

****, i bought mine off of someone on here, I'm totally screwed if they break. **** all this JBP bullshit, all thier **** is breaking and they just stick thier head in the ground and ignore it.

distillion

ive had mine for over a year, i checked them a few months back and they seemed fine, my car should be in the air for a downpipe install in the next few days since my aftermarket one crapped out on me(flexpipe is useless) when we do that im going to examine the cabs,
but yes im sick of vendors not putting in the r@d, and then not helping the customers out when there are issues.........
