Sorry,
I mean the lower one where the shock bolts to the rear hub! The bush on my AP shocker has worn one within 4-5 months and i coud hear it creaking when i was driving the car. Ive took the shocker off the car and was able to push the bush out of the housing??

Best to contact AP direct I would think.

I know mine's faulty, but can you replace these bushes? Wonder if you can get poly replacements?
