i have a common or garden jimny totally unmodified but rear shockers are only lasting 2--3 months
the bottom bushes are failing leaving the shocker rattelling round on its lower mount..
any ideas...it is only used as every day transport and hasn't even seen a blade of grass let alone off

If a jimny is lifted, this puts the axle at an angle with the bottom shock bolts pointing slightly downwards, thus putting extra strain on the bottom bush of the rear shock. So the solution to this would be
