Rear Upper suspension shaft?

[shawnj]

I dropped the rear of the 08 apex suspension to check bearings on two upper wheels. Bearings seemed really good still. But, the two black plastic bushings on eith side are split, IS THIS NORMAL. It seems funny they are both split diangonally in same direction.
And, seeing I didnt drop the front bolts of suspension, if I take transfer rod bolts out, will I be able to reinstall rear of skid without much prying? If so, how do I then get transfer rod hooked back in. Thanks.
