Recently I replaced the factory junk traction bar thinga ma bobbers on the Excursion.
Upon getting ready to remove the traction bars I discovered both of the snubbers on them we're wasted extremely bad,any of my Excursion buds observe similar destroyed snubbers on their trucks?
From what I gather mine are the first known to deteriorate so badly:eek:

Prior to our Rocky Mountain winter trip in December the snubbers were fine,we believe the rough washboard snow/ice covered interstates might have been the blow it took to shatter em especially on the Kansas/Colorado 70 & Wyoming 80 the day after the blizzards.:doh:

All I can vision is parts of the Excursions weak suspension falling off in front of other vehicles behind me.

Holy snubboly! Looks like someone dumped acid all over them! :eek: Or even blasted with liquid nitrogen and hit with a hammer. Never seen any like this.

If I recall correctly the rear snubbers are of the same construction as the front bumpstops on 2000-2002 Excursions.

I think the snubbers were designed for temporary contact and not long term like the multihour stretch of I-70 last winter.That was some of the roughest snow/ice covered road I've driven on:eek:
