Rear Shock Bushings.

Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

Rear Shock Bushings.

Post by Bessie the Mud Slayer »

While on a drive yesterday one of the lower rear shock bushings dissapeared on me. After checking the wiki and a search I can't find the PN or any other info on them. I grabbed some from Lordco yesterday that appear to be a match, but would like confirmation. Also, due to a few km's with no bushing, the metal washer got pretty beat up, any info on that?
I have Energy Suspension 9.8103G for the bushing.

I don't know about the washer but the bushings are, lower: 9.8107G, upper: 9.8126G. I installed these on my van with Pro Comp es9000's. You can always check by disassembling the other shock bottom. :M

I did the swap today. Pretty simple process. Two things to note though. The numbers given were swapped, "lower: 9.8107G, upper: 9.8126G". The 9.8126G's are the lowers, and the 9.8107G's are the uppers, hourglass. Didn't make much difference to me because I did both sides, uppers and lowers.
Also, is it recomended to use locktite or another such product when reassembling? Not sure of the nuts coming loose during a good bounce down a backroad.
Cheers.
