Shock Bushing Red

The Energy Suspension Shock Bushing Red (part number 9.8107R) is a polyurethane suspension component engineered to replace worn shock end bushings on a wide range of vehicles. This hourglass-profile bushing features a 5/8-inch inner diameter and 1 to 1-1/8-inch outer diameter, making it a universal solution for vehicles requiring this geometry. The 1-7/16-inch length accommodates standard shock mounting applications while the polyurethane construction delivers superior damping characteristics and extended service life compared to OEM rubber equivalents.

Polyurethane shock bushings outperform rubber in several critical ways. They resist compression set—the permanent deformation that causes loose, rattling suspensions over time—and maintain consistent compliance across wider temperature ranges. This red-colored bushing is sold as a pair, allowing for both sides of a suspension assembly to be restored simultaneously. The hourglass profile geometry distributes loads more effectively than straight-wall designs, reducing stress concentrations at the bore. Energy Suspension polyurethane formulations also resist oil, coolant, and UV exposure better than rubber, extending service intervals in demanding climates.

Mechanics and enthusiasts performing shock replacement, suspension refresh, or accident repair reach for Energy Suspension bushings when OEM rubber components have failed. Whether diagnosing a clunking noise from the shock tower, addressing excessive body roll, or rebuilding a suspension after off-road use, this shock end bushing addresses a common wear point. The universal sizing means cross-referencing to your vehicle's specifications—using the shock assembly diagram and OEM part numbers—is necessary before purchase to confirm bore and outer diameter compatibility.
