Universal Fitment
The Energy Suspension 9.8141G is designed for compatible shock absorbers using the following dimensions:
- Inside Diameter: 5/8 inch
- Outside Diameter: 1-1/8 inch
- Length: 1-1/4 inch
Always compare these dimensions with your existing bushings before purchasing.
Hyper-Flex® Polyurethane Construction
Energy Suspension’s proprietary Hyper-Flex® polyurethane provides significant advantages over conventional rubber.
Benefits include:
- Increased durability
- Better wear resistance
- Higher load capacity
- Reduced suspension deflection
- Longer service life
Unlike rubber, polyurethane maintains its shape without permanently compressing over time.
Built to Resist Harsh Conditions
Factory rubber bushings can quickly degrade from everyday exposure.
Hyper-Flex polyurethane resists:
- Motor oil
- Road salt
- Grease
- Chemicals
- Ozone
- Moisture
- Road contaminants
This helps extend bushing life in both daily-driven and performance vehicles.
Improve Suspension Performance
Replacing worn shock bushings helps eliminate excess movement in the shock mounting points.
Potential benefits include:
- Improved shock control
- Better suspension stability
- Reduced suspension noise
- More consistent damping
- Sharper handling response
These improvements are especially noticeable on older vehicles with deteriorated factory bushings.
Performance-Tested Design
Energy Suspension has developed Hyper-Flex polyurethane over decades of engineering and motorsports testing.
The material has been used in:
- Street vehicles
- Muscle cars
- Off-road trucks
- Classic restorations
- Drag racing
- Road racing
- Autocross
Its durability has made it one of the most recognized polyurethane suspension materials available.
Installation
Replacing shock bushings generally involves:
- Remove the shock absorber.
- Press or remove the old rubber bushings.
- Clean the shock eye thoroughly.
- Install the new polyurethane bushings and sleeve.
- Reinstall the shock absorber.
- Torque all hardware to factory specifications.
Some installations may require a hydraulic press or bushing installation tools.
