Figured I'd share what my Steeda Delrin vertical links look like after, I think, 10 track days, about 20-25K miles total, and greasing them only when I installed.
As you can see, there is no cracking or abnormal or even particularly evident abrasion/wear to the bushing - nothing abnormally or unacceptably "digging in" like I've seen on other options. The "white marks" you see on the bushing at the top of the picture is pretty much dirty grease and discoloration from cleaning these with some brake cleaner (and there's probably some anti-seize mixed in because that stuff gets into everything). The black hue you see on the washers is just grime that I was too lazy to clean off entirely and actually made somewhat worse when I half-ass attempted to do so. So, the bottom left bushing is the best example of what they all actually look like in-person. Obviously the aluminum structure is unscathed excepting a few beauty marks I put on it during installation.
There's a reason Steeda designed these this way; why the bushing is so large.
