1-7/8in Strut Bushing

The STRANGE 1-7/8 inch Strut Bushing (Part Number S3403C) is a polyurethane suspension component designed to isolate vibration and movement in marine drive shaft strut assemblies. This black bushing measures 1.875 inches in outer diameter and serves as a critical isolation element in boat drive systems, reducing noise transmission and extending component lifespan by absorbing shock loads from engine thrust and directional forces.

Polyurethane construction offers superior durability compared to rubber in saltwater and freshwater environments. The material resists UV degradation, maintains elasticity across temperature ranges, and handles the constant flex cycles that accompany boat operation without permanent deformation. At just 0.04 lbs, this lightweight bushing integrates seamlessly into existing strut assemblies without adding measurable weight or altering drive geometry. The universal design accommodates standard 1-7/8 inch mounting bores across multiple boat manufacturers and drive systems.

Weekend anglers and serious offshore boaters alike rely on strut bushings to maintain steering precision and reduce cabin vibration during extended operation. Worn or degraded bushings produce noticeable slop in steering response and allow transmission of low-frequency vibration that fatigues crews on long runs. Replacing a single bushing is far more economical than addressing bearing wear or strut damage that results from inadequate isolation. This individual unit allows targeted replacement without requiring a complete strut assembly overhaul, making it an essential maintenance item for any boat owner committed to preserving drivetrain integrity.

STRANGE has established itself as a supplier of precision suspension and drivetrain components across marine and industrial applications. The S3403C bushing represents the engineering standard for isolation components in this size category, delivering the vibration attenuation and corrosion resistance demanded by both stock and performance-oriented boat systems.
