Energy Suspension 95-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse FWD/AWD Front Shock Upper Bushing Set

Energy Suspension Shock Mount Bushings

Shocks are part of a two-component system; your coil springs and shocks work together to maintain your control over the vehicle on rough surfaces while also smoothing out your ride. Your shocks are connected to the frame with a set of shock mount bushings. These bushings allow your shock to perform at its best while also helping to reduce road vibrations.

While many OE shock mount bushings are made of rubber, Energy Suspension makes bushings with their Hyperflex polyurethane. Rubber is a softer material that's better for reducing vibrations but doesn't last long when pitted against high-stress environments. Hyperflex polyurethane, on the other hand, is much more durable than rubber, and easily able to withstand both physical wear and road contamination. This added durability also means an increase in firmness and, by extension, NVH. However, the enhanced dependability of your suspension is often worth a slight increase in vibration. Plus, Energy Suspension covers all of their shock mount bushings with a two-year warranty handled in-house here at DST.
