2 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 12/20/2005

I have a trail blazer,Chevrolet 2003 for which I have had to change the bushings/links over 6-7 times. The part in reference is made in a material "calamine"??? which is not a metal and breaks easily. There is not a campaign on that part, yet I know several trail blazer owners that have had the same problem. The links in the rear suspension came out in iron or some type of metal. I am totally frustrated because my vehicle is not longer under warranty.
