How important is a center pivot axle bushing on the TTB?

I have a new one from Energy Suspension sititng in the box, but I've been too lazy to install it.

What will riding w/ a shot center pivot axle bushing do?

Make it wander and steer like crap . Your alignment will change with every bump and your tires will wear out a lot faster than normal .

Interesting... it does wander and steer like crap. Guess I'll be putting it in faster than I anticipated :doh:

That is exactly why people hate the Dana 50 so much. I have new leaf springs and bushing going in this summer. My truck is very wore out it time to time kind of locks in mid turn.

I replaced mine, and it lasted under 5k miles. I was pissed. I expected it to go fast since I live on a dirt road, but it was literally like 2.5 months. And its been almost 4 years since then. I just don't care about it anymore. I have a 60 sitting here. Just waiting to get my lift put up so it'll be a little easier swap.
