Review:

As the original purchaser of my RS9000 adjustable shocks, I was unaware that Rancho would have changed them at no cost to me. Nevertheless, it wasn't a huge expense, they fit well, and I'll now get additional years out of my shocks. Like any large object entering a small space, it will slip in with less difficulty if you use lubricant. I pressed it slowly into the shocks using a pulley installation tool. An alternative is a C-clamp. The use of a hammer is not something I would advise, but by all means, do as you choose. Would purchase if I required some unwarranted items.

Review:

For my 2000 Tacoma, I mounted these on a set of Bilstein 5100 struts. The Energy Suspension leaf spring bushings I used were also excellent.The bushings are remarkably firm. They were placed in a vice and bored out with a 1/2 dill bit because the inner diameter was too small for the application I needed them for. Awesome! I was astonished by how robust, resilient, and durable this material is. I believe this will continue to work well for a very long time!

Replace the smaller mounts for my 5100 Bilsteins with these. To remove the old ones and install them, a c clamp and socket were required.

Review:

These bushings weren't to be found anywhere. I misplaced one of mine immediately after installation when the shock nut backed off. We tried a few alternatives, but the stepped up sizing is essential to prevent the shock bolt from swiveling in the car's frame.
