Powerflex bushing failure
Just a heads up, if you installed the F2X Black series lower control arm bushings from Powerflex, keep an eye on them as I had one completely fail after just one year of use. Due to the EPS, I had no idea until I checked for play in the wheel/tire side to side.
A representative took my call today and said I can file a warranty claim on the website and that they will send me the updated bushings as the previous ones were defective. I’ll update when it’s sorted out..

Update:
Thrust arm bushings up to 2021 date also defective and have been redesigned. They are sending me all 4 bushings. LCA and TA. They’ve been very easy to work with in resolving this matter.

With the Powerflex bushings it is worth dismantling and applying their specific silicone grease to any of the polyurethane to centre stainless steel sleeve and any end washers each year or two. If those surfaces dry out, the polyurethane can deteriorate quite quickly.
