Shocks
EFS Front Shock Absorber Bush, lower — Nissan Navara D40 and D23, Pathfinder R51
Knocking from the front suspension of a Navara or Pathfinder usually starts with a worn bush in the lower shock eye. This EFS bush is the service part for the lower mount of front shock 38-5648, as fitted to the Nissan Navara D40 and D23 and the Pathfinder R51.
EFS Front Shock Absorber Bush, lower — Nissan Navara D40 and D23, Pathfinder R51
Front suspension on a ute lives in the worst conditions available: salt, gravel, vibration and load. The rubber in the lower shock eye wears fastest of all in that environment, and it is responsible for most of the knocking that drivers put down to a failed damper.
This bush is the replacement wear part for the lower mount of the EFS 38-5648 front shock. You swap a low-cost component instead of a complete damper.

Fitting notes

Why buy it

- Matched directly to the EFS shock rather than a universal substitute.
