🔧 Enhanced Performance End Link Grommet by Energy Suspension - Model 9.8105R Review

My old ones rotted and cracked didn't do much. these are much stiffer and hope to last longer. I had to add some good old elbow grease to fit my 2003 Explorer Sport XLT 2wd.

The original ferrule was a bit too big for them so I drilled them out a bit for a looser fit. the rest fitted perfectly, there were no problems and no drilling was required. started immediately with no problems.

Rubber bushings installed and they lasted about a month. They still hold their shape after a few months of fitting, but I did notice a difference when riding - less front wobble. I would recommend it to those who eat through grommets.

I buy these bushings for quads and small engines. I cut, sharpen and customize these hubs specifically for Chinese ATVs. I use these bushings as shock absorbers on many different quads, but tuning is key. I am not using them for their intended purpose.

These end link bushings have been on my 2000 Frontier for some time now (maybe 6 months?). I have been using Energy Suspension parts for many years and they last a long time. I've always been happy with them and this is no different. They withstand a lot of abuse I've put them through in the field.

This is a nice upgrade for the stock stabilizer bushings and comes with heavy duty washers. However, they have a 3/8 inch bore and are not suitable for many vehicles. Most large or older vehicles require a 7/16 inch bore. I had to bore them out on a lathe. They are also thicker than most standard bushings, so you may need longer bolts or trim the bushings.

Good product, just wish the description stated the bore hole, it was too small for my bolts, it's like a 3/8" bore but am building the 1/2" bolts on my truck are for the stabilizer bar so they won't fit. I was advised at a local auto parts store not to attempt to bore them out as this would most likely result in the bushing cracking due to the wall thickness, although I don't know how true that is.
