Split Pineapples

[blah_blah]

Hi Guys,

Last month I got a reputable workshop to install pineapples for me. Everything was fine, just tonight while I was taking off the wheels to lower the car i noticed that one of the pineapples is split. I have attached a picture.

I just have a few questions:

1. Is this normal? Is it fine to leave like that? Is it doing any damage to the car if I leave it like that for a while?

2. Is it my bad luck that it is split? Or can i get say Whiteline suspension to replace/refund? Or does it mean it was not installed properly and the workshop may replace it for me?

Appreciate any comments!

I'm pretty sure they come split from the factory, buutt that looks like it was installed possibly wrong. It looks as tho it has maybe squashed out a tiny bit, is it overhanging much over the edge of the subframe?

Yeah not sure if there split from factory. I compared it to the one installed on the right hand side of the car and there was no split and seemed a bit 'tighter'. Unless the split is facing the front of the car so I can't see it?

In any case i've email the place where it was installed so i'll see what they say.

Cheers!

For anyone that needs to know I got my answer so FYI i have been told:

"Pineapple bushes are meant to have a split in them for the uppers, and you will be correct the other one will be facing away from you"

Thanks Anyways

Hi.

If you are concerned get some stainless steel wire loosen of the tension on the bush wrap once around bush tie off and tighten up. The wire will hold the bush in its correct shape and being stainless will last.
