Selected User Reviews For Energy Suspension 9.8107G 5/8" Hourglass Shock Eye Bushing
A set of Teraflex bar pin eliminators comes with my motorcycle. As you can see, my Bilsteins come with bushings and bar pins already installed. While it was easy enough to remove the original bushing, the bar pin was very set in it. It wasn't possible to gently wrestle this out (probably impossible anyway), but it was still a worthwhile exchange. The Teraflex BPEs as well as the Bilstein 5100 are perfectly suited for them. There is a slight difference in width between these and You will only get about 1/4" of lateral movement from the Bilstein bushings, no matter if you remove the pin.
Bushing/bar pin should be placed in shock, then bar pin should be placed in bushing. It is the correct way to do it. In addition, you will not be able to install bar pins into bushings while they are in shock due to the bushings being in shock. After the bar pin has been placed in the bushing, the shock is placed. I had to buy a replacement after I figured it out on my own. The products are GREAT as far as quality goes. I am sure they will outlast the shocks and that is exactly what you would want and expect from polyurethane bushings.
Therefore, I had to measure and look for the correct bushings through It was the perfect fit! The following are the sizes, in case there is anyone else struggling to find them Taking a look at the hourglass eye, 1 There is a length of 438 inches. It has been a long time, The average adult height is 625 inches. The following are the first two. There are 125 inches in this year.
These new Bilsteins were the only ones available that had bar pins, since the Bilstein 5100 shocks I bought for my 1999 Jeep Cherokee already had them. installed RC bar pin eliminators in the front and rear of my car to be able to modify them to fit properly. In spite of using a 1 ton press, I had some difficulty pressing out the bar pin from the existing bushing. After a long day, I ordered these in a moment of relaxation. As a result, the installation was very smooth with the included grease, and I didn't have to struggle to finish as well. Having traveled more than 500 miles so far, there are no squeaks or rattles. This brand is definitely one I would purchase again, and I will likely order more of it as I replace parts in.
We replaced the bushing with this one and it was as good as new, and it was a much more cost-effective option than replacing the entire shock. It's great to hear from Energy Suspension, will purchase again when necessary! It does not come with the Sleeve, which I believe should be the case, hence my only complaint, but I just used the old bushing to make up for this.
The rear bar pin eliminator fits perfectly on my XJ. For a refresh on my new-to-me Jeep, I purchased a set of Bilstein 4600 shocks The 1999 XJ I own. In addition, I picked up a Zone Offroad BPE kit for the rear (also very nice). Assuming that they are already installed). An XJ isn't known for going fast, but these two sure.
The stiffer bushings are much better than stock ones. As well as better riding, the truck has better handling. You can install in a few minutes. The old bushings can be removed with a screwdriver after the shock is taken apart. If you need to get them on the shocks, a little silicone spray will help. They slid into a vice with a little bit of resistance, but a big C-shaped hole remained It would be best to use a clamp. Press them in after the bushings have gone through shock, the same with the metal sleeve and silicone. Clunks over bumps are no longer an issue!.
Exactly what I was looking for for my JK shocks.
