Overview
The Energy Suspension 9.8108G is a black, standard hourglass shaped shock eye made from polyurethane. Its 0.75 in. inside diameter and L-1 7/16 in. length are the measurements to match against your shock, since the brand labels it universal fit rather than naming a vehicle.
Key features
- Standard hourglass shaped style
- Polyurethane construction
- 0.75 in. inside diameter
- L-1 7/16 in. length

Keeping polyurethane bushings working
Polyurethane has a different feel from rubber. It resists oil and grit better than rubber, but it transfers more vibration into the chassis when the bushing is stiff or old. Most owners notice this as a harsher ride over sharp bumps rather than a failure, so it is worth comparing the change to the old part before deciding the new set is wrong.
Routine care is simple. Keep the eyes clean, rinse off mud after trail use, and check the bushings when you rotate the tires or service the brakes. Look for splits, bulging edges, or a bushing that has moved in its eye. Polyurethane often runs without added lubricant, so follow any instructions that come with the set and avoid greasy products that could soften the material.
- Rinse mud and grit from the eyes after trail use
- Check for splits or bulging edges

Vehicle fitment
Fit depends on the hourglass eye on your shock. Compare its bore with the 0.75 in. inside diameter and its length with the L-1 7/16 in. measurement before choosing this set.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Take the bore and length readings from the old eye first. If either differs from this set, it is the wrong size for that shock.
What’s included
