Custom mold flexible silicone rubber bushing for shock absorber

A rubber bushing for shock absorber installation provides a compliant section at the attachment defined by the assembly. Its flexibility must work with the receiving bore, hardware and intended movement. A bushing that is easy to compress by hand is not automatically suitable for a particular shock connection.

Compare the center passage, outer seat and installed width with the required geometry. The rubber should remain located while the assembly moves, without an edge being trapped between adjoining rigid parts. Any sleeves or washers included in the design must retain their intended relationship to the bushing.

Use the assembly-specific fitting and fastening requirements when installing the component. The generic silicone designation does not establish a load rating or vehicle fitment. In service, inspect the joint for both rubber deterioration and hardware movement. If the connection develops play, check the receiving structure as well as the bushing so replacing the rubber does not leave a separate source of movement unresolved at the same attachment.
