Flange Type bushing

The Energy Suspension Flange Type Bushing (part number 9.9483R) is a performance-grade polyurethane and steel bushing designed for suspension and drivetrain applications where factory rubber components fail to deliver the rigidity needed for precision handling. This 1.54-inch outer diameter bushing with a 0.5-inch inner diameter sleeve measures 2.375 inches in length and features Energy Suspension's signature Hyper-Flex polyurethane formulation bonded to a steel core, finished in black with cadmium-plated hardware for corrosion resistance.

Polyurethane bushings outperform rubber by resisting deflection under load, reducing suspension flex and drivetrain slop that compounds into imprecise steering response and power loss. The flanged design provides solid mounting geometry and prevents lateral movement, critical in applications where lateral bushing deflection translates directly to alignment drift. Energy Suspension's polyurethane compound resists degradation from heat, oil, ozone, and UV exposure far longer than factory rubber, extending service life across season changes and high-mileage builds. The steel center collar distributes clamping force evenly, reducing the risk of bushing extrusion under sustained load.

This bushing suits suspension refresh builds, performance upgrades, and restoration work where restoring OEM handling precision is the goal. It pairs well with other polyurethane suspension components as part of a comprehensive bushing kit, improving overall chassis response without requiring structural modifications. The SKU ENE9-9483R and UPC 703639074595 ensure accurate fitment identification when cross-referencing your vehicle's specific suspension or drivetrain application.

Weighing 0.73 pounds, the bushing is compact and ships as part of Energy Suspension's modular bushing system, allowing builders to replace worn components incrementally. Proper installation with supplied hardware and moderate pre-load ensures maximum lifespan and consistent performance in both street and light track duty.
