Overview
The Energy Suspension 9.8147G is a universal fit polyurethane shock bushing and grommet for shock absorber eye mounts. Energy Suspension says polyurethane bushings and grommets add to the performance of every shock they are fitted to, and it markets the 9.8147G as a way to extend shock life.
Because it is universal fit, the 9.8147G is not matched to a specific year, make or model. Match it to your shock’s eye and mounting hardware before ordering.
Key features
- Polyurethane construction
- Universal fit for shock absorbers
- Designed to add to shock performance
- Designed to help extend shock life
Shock eye fitment checks
Fitment checks for a universal shock eye begin with the shock absorber itself. Look at the eye style, the bore size and the length between the mounting faces. These measurements tell you more than any vehicle name, because the same eye style can appear on different trucks and SUVs.
Polyurethane bushings resist oil and dirt, which suits shocks used on rough ground. They are firmer than rubber, so they pass more movement into the mount. Choose a bushing with a snug, even fit rather than one that needs to be forced, since forcing can split the material.
Plan the install around the parts that usually wear with it. Inspect the mounting bolts, the washers and the bracket holes, and replace any hardware that is bent or corroded. Recheck the fit after the first few drives on rough terrain.
- Measure the eye bore and length
- Compare the eye style with your shock
