    IRS spindle bushings

    I bought a couple of used Mustang rear spindles to use with my kit. I noticed that the main bushings that connect to the strut (not the toe link bushing) seem very flexible/weak. Since these are used, I just wanted to verify that this is normal. I bought the two from two separate sellers, so it is hard to imagine both have broken bushings. But it seems surprising to me that the bushings have so little resistance/strength. Can anyone confirm?

    Thanks

    They are somewhat flexible when new. But based on your description I wouldn't consider that normal. They are pressed in and replaceable. Ford OE parts plus aftermarket.
