Before I go mad buying tools to remove this bush has it failed?
Seeing daylight through it says to me it's failed end of.
So I just read another forum where they said the 'tear' was normal and didn't affect the bush? Say what???
So has it failed?

It's this bush, why is the bolt hole key shaped, is it a stress relief design?
I'm presuming the bolts need replacing as well.

Wish I had a concrete drive or a garage!
