The shaker shoe bushings are made of rubber with a steel insert. they should generally be replaced as soon as any evidence of cracking is aparent of even suspected. Usually what you will see is a very small hairline crack arround the inner edges of the bushing. Be very cautious of the shoe peoition when installing new bushings. Make sure the shoe is in the center position so that the bushing has to flex the same amount in BOTH directions ot they will fail very quickly. It they are installed properly they should last for more than 3000 hours.
