EFS Front Shock Absorber Bush, bonded rubber-to-steel — Toyota Land Cruiser 200
On a Land Cruiser 200 the front damper carries serious mass, and the first thing to let go is not the damper but the rubber in its lower eye. This EFS bush measures 40/32 x 52 x 16 mm and is the replacement part for the lower mount of front shock 38-5635. The rubber is bonded to the steel sleeve, so the mount does not loosen up after the first season.
EFS Front Shock Absorber Bush, bonded rubber-to-steel — Toyota Land Cruiser 200
A Land Cruiser 200 carries real weight, and its front end takes a beating on gravel and again once a winch bar loads the nose. In that setup the lower shock bush is one of the hardest working parts on the vehicle: every stroke and every jolt passes through it.
When the rubber starts to crack you get a knock, and the damper loses steering precision even though it is still damping properly. This EFS bush brings the mount back to as-new. A steel sleeve sits inside hard-wearing rubber bonded to the metal, so the joint does not delaminate under load.

- Resistant to abrasion, oils and weather.
- Maintenance free — no greasing and no scheduled attention.
- Replacing the bush is cheap compared with a set of new dampers.

Who it is for
For Land Cruiser 200 owners running EFS 38-5635 front shocks, particularly touring builds that load the front of the vehicle. If a single knock has appeared in the suspension after a gravel trip, the bushes are the first thing worth inspecting.
Fitting notes
The old bush presses out of the shock eye and the new one presses into the same place, ideally on a press. Replace bushes in pairs across the axle so both sides behave the same.
Why buy it
- Exact dimensions and a defined application — nothing to measure or approximate.
- An inexpensive repair for a genuine source of front end knocking.
- Rubber that resists oils and weather, so winter does not eat the part.
If your Land Cruiser 200 runs EFS 38-5635 front shocks, add a set of bushes to the next suspension service.
