Overview
The Energy Suspension 9.8104R is a universal shock eye part made from polyurethane for the mounting ends of a shock absorber.
Energy Suspension markets polyurethane as a way to add efficiency to any shock. The brand also says these parts give a long service life, and the fitment is universal rather than model-specific.
Key features
- Polyurethane universal shock eye
- Universal fit for shock mounting ends
- Polyurethane cushions the shock mounting point
- Designed for extended service life
Shock eye wear and replacement
The shock eye is the mounting end where the absorber connects to the frame or axle, and it takes repeated movement with every bump. A polyurethane eye resists some wear, but it still softens and cracks over time. Inspecting the eye whenever the shock is off helps catch problems before they affect ride or handling. Eye bushings are inexpensive to check and are easy to overlook.
Replacing an eye bushing works best when the mounting hardware is also checked. Bolts, sleeves and washers should fit cleanly, and any bent or corroded metal should be replaced at the same time. Before installing, confirm the eye dimensions match the shock so the new bushing seats fully.
- Check eye dimensions before buying
- Inspect mounting hardware
- Look for cracking or flattening
- Replace worn parts together
