Default Shock Bushing and Tie Rod End Boot Upgrade

While installing an AllSports 5" drop axle, I noticed how bad the shock bushings and tie rod end boots had gotten. I replaced them with Energy Suspension's polyurethane parts. The shock bushings made a big difference the ride, no more noise from the shock stems beating on the frame.

We're your shocks not worn out??? I would think so with bushing like that. Don't they come with new ones? I know automotive ones do.

shock bushings were Energy Suspension 9.13119 R or B (R for red B for black)
tie rod dust cover Energy Suspension 9.13103 R or B (R for red B for black)

Dust covers come 2 to a pack......I have 3 extras now.

The shocks are still good. I think the rubber dry rotted and that why they hammered out so quick. I just bought it a month ago, so I don't know much about it's history.

Most shocks do come with hardware kits, but you can also buy the kits separate, if needed. I been replacing rubber parts with polyurethane for years. Most companies like Energy Suspension give life time warrenties.

Yea I know that, but seems like throwing away good money...I would just assume those shocks were not damper in much anymore if there old enough to rot the rubber like that?

I know you can buy poll bushings seperate...I use to work in a large chain auto parts place in a previous life.

The correct shock bushing number is 9.8126 NOT 9.13119. I'm not sure how to edit my previous post.

CLEMSONCARTGUY- The shocks were good, I (likewise in a previos life) worked in an alignment/frame shop. I know when shocks are bad. $20 of bushings is cheaper than $160 of new shocks.

I was wondering if that was right, thanks for the correction.
