Hellwig front sway bar bushings worn out in less than 8,000 miles.

I put the Hellwig sway bars in no more than 7-8,000 miles ago and I love them. The bushings in the front are loose and now there is a rattle. Not much mileage to wear like that. Anyone else have similar findings? I don't want to be installing bushings at every oil change. I'll have to give them a call. Installed the Bilsteins today which are great. Also the bar has been hitting the oil pan in the crease. I see the paint is being hammered. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]
