Review on Daystar Universal Hourglass Bushing KU08007BK by Tim Surridge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit and size for Chevy 1500 aftermarket shocks

Perfect fit and size for replacing bushings on my rear shocks that have fallen apart. Fits: 2002 Chevy Silverado 4.8L RCSB BaseRear Toxic Shock - Explorer - 41950 oe11813 I first tried to buy a set of universal bushings at my local auto parts store but they didn't fit. The bushings I found were too big and rather cylindrical. They weren't the hourglass shape I needed for these kicks. Found these replacement bushings at Revain with overnight delivery and bought them immediately. The lug metal bushings on my rear shocks are 3/4" as you can see in the photos and they match the bushings perfectly. Installation was pretty easy. Make sure to use lithium grease when mounting to the shock; both for Bushing and eyelet bushing. They are harder than rubber so not as flexible. I didn't have a vise so I used a nut and bolt with washers and a 21mm head to push the bushing through while I tightened the bolt. I tried to take pictures with the dimensions of the bushings, rear shock absorber and lug metal bushing, I hope this review and my photos will help you with your purchase.
