All of my bolts had the thin nylon bushings not just the equalizer. Of course with the kit you get nice brass type bushings and all the bolts have the grease zerks.

The wear can be VERY hard to detect without actually pulling or partially pulling the bolts. But once they do start wearing you'll have NO trouble seeing them when you get at just the right angle.

I sorry so many folks seem to be having this problem but it is sure nice to see so many of you checking and changing out the weak OEM stuff. By the way our rig had about 20k on it when we first detected the wear. We then put about 6k on it and changed them out. We could not have gone another 500 miles without one of them breaking.
