Default front shock bushings fell out

Front shock bushings on my rc shocks are out of there holes on the bottom of front shock. Is this common with rc shocks, what should i do replace bushing or shocks ( if it will keep happening)

Bar pin eliminators should prevent that from happening, so look into that. I don't see how that can happen though...

Its not bad if the bushing falls out, it matters more of the condition of the bushings. But more then likely if the bushings fell out then they are probably in need of replacement. You could always call rc and see what they say

Only 2k miles on them look brand new but the shock is basically sitting on the barpin bushing is doing almost nothing. Ill try to post pics soon.

Buy new bushing's and install some BPE's (Bar Pin Eliminator's ) You'll never had that problem again
