Endlink bushing

I have an issue with the racingline endlink bushing. The beatch ruptured under normal torque specs and I was wondering if the energy suspension urethane bushings work from the 2000-03 maximas that they have out. The rubber ones supplied dont seem very reliable, however I have read no one else having this issue. Any info would be helpful.
THanks

Hey daniel I have been in contact with cattman and he has informed me of the issue. A replacement set of bushings has been sent out to you already. It seems that there has been a bad batch of bushings that had gone out a while back. We have had this happen to 3 other customers in the last 2 months ( compared to 0 issues from 100+ set sold before) leading us to believe that this was simply a case of a manufacturing error in the mixing of the polyurethane. Sorry for any inconvenience

Taz,
these are urethane bushings? Thanks for the reply and I do appreciate you taking care of it. Also, confirm the torque settings on the endlinks for me. 22 ft lbs seems excessive on the toque wrench.
Thanks
Dan
