Have you contacted Skyjacker?  I don't think anything short of catastrophic failure would summerize what happened.  I've never seen that with any of the poly bushings I've used.

Looks defective to me! I would call Skyjacker, send an email with pics or what ever it takes to get free replacements.

Here locally, this happened recently with some Rough Country shocks.  Maybe some poly manufacturer had some quality control problems.

There is a lengthy thread on the jeepsunlimited forum....they had a bad batch of bushings and have been replacing them no questions asked.  Just contact them and they will send them out.
