SCOUT II SPRING & SHACKL E

The Energy Suspension Scout II Spring & Shackle bushing kit is a polyurethane front suspension upgrade engineered to restore and improve handling on 1972–1980 International Scout II models. Unlike OEM rubber bushings that deteriorate and develop excessive play, this composite bushing system combines durable polyurethane with steel components to eliminate movement, reduce chassis flex, and deliver predictable suspension response during both highway driving and off-road use.

Energy Suspension's polyurethane formulation resists oil, heat, and UV damage far longer than rubber—a critical advantage for Scout II owners in harsh climates or extended field use. The cadmium-plated steel hardware prevents corrosion and ensures secure mounting integrity. Designed as a complete front shackle bushing kit, this solution addresses worn suspension geometry that causes tire wear, wandering steering feel, and compromised articulation during trail work. Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and standard hand tools, making it accessible to dedicated owners managing their own suspension maintenance.

Scout II platforms—whether used for expedition, restoration, or regular patrol—demand reliable suspension components that handle load shifts and rough terrain without premature wear. Original rubber bushings on vehicles now 40+ years old are typically compressed or cracked, forcing owners to choose between replacement with OEM rubber (temporary solution) or polyurethane upgrade (permanent solution). This Energy Suspension kit addresses the full 1972–1980 model range, making it the standard upgrade for Scout enthusiasts prioritizing durability and handling precision.
