You using the adjustable aftermarket rod? Reason i ask the bushings are smaller and harder than stock. Also i definitely knew I was doing wrong by the effort it took to get it installed.

I experienced bushing failure a few years after first install. I can’t say for certain this was the cause but feel it likely was.
