How long should I expect the OE(original volvo)front control arm bushing to last? 200

I would love to hear from others.

My evaluation of the skinny front bushing on the front control arm is done after removing the bucket from the rear and disconnecting the strut. At that point, the arm is only supported by the front and the front bolt is still tight.

A torn bushing will be obvious at that moment.

I still have the front bushings I bought 10 years ago waiting for the first time they are needed. So far, in the course of tinkering on 10 240's they remain in their plastic bags, aging gracefully.
