Birdcage Longhorn Left w/Shock Mnt & Bushings

The Birdcage Longhorn Left w/Shock Mnt & Bushings is a precision-engineered driver-side axle mount assembly built for high-performance marine and racing applications where reliability and durability matter. This left-hand unit serves as the structural foundation for mounting and supporting heavy-duty drive systems on longhorn chassis configurations, making it essential for serious boaters and racers who demand components that can handle extreme conditions on and off the water. PPM Racing Products engineered this assembly to deliver the bearing support and shock isolation necessary for smooth operation during aggressive acceleration and rough-water navigation.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum with a durable black anodized finish, the Birdcage Longhorn features dual bearing support with a 3.000-inch inner diameter, providing superior load distribution and reduced vibration transmission to the hull. The integrated shock mount and included bushings work together to isolate drivetrain vibration and impact, protecting both the engine and the chassis from premature fatigue. Double-bearing design ensures lateral stability and extended service life, while the aluminum construction keeps weight to a minimum—critical for boats where every pound affects fuel efficiency and handling. Axle clamps are included, eliminating the need for additional hardware purchases and ensuring proper alignment straight out of the box.

This component is ideal for boaters and marine racers running longhorn chassis platforms who are upgrading or rebuilding their drive systems with OEM-equivalent or performance-grade specifications. Installation pairs seamlessly with standard marine driveline configurations; verify left-side mounting orientation and bearing size compatibility with your specific drive shaft before ordering. The compact 13.75 x 6.5 x 14.75-inch footprint integrates efficiently into most longhorn applications, and the 9.63-pound weight keeps overall system balance intact. Whether you're maintaining a tournament-grade ski boat or restoring a vintage racing hull, this assembly delivers the structural integrity and vibration control serious water athletes expect.
