EFS 4x4 Lower Shock Bushing, Bonded Rubber-Steel 38/30×40×16 mm
EFS 4x4 lower shock absorber bushing with a steel sleeve permanently bonded to tough rubber. It measures 38/30 × 40 × 16 mm and is made for shock absorber 38-5650. It damps vibration and noise, resists oil and abrasion, and needs no maintenance.
EFS 4x4 lower shock absorber bushing, rubber-to-steel 38/30 × 40 × 16 mm
The lower shock eye takes the worst of it off-road — every hit from the wheel travels through it. Once the rubber starts separating from the steel, the shock no longer works on a single axis: you get knocking noises and damping that behaves differently every time.
This is a classic bonded bushing: a steel sleeve surrounded by tough rubber, permanently bonded together. It is the EFS 4x4 part for the lower mount of shock absorber 38-5650, used on body-on-frame pickups and SUVs.
Position Lower | Construction Rubber bonded to steel | Dimensions 38/30 × 40 × 16 mm |
Key benefits
- A permanent rubber-to-steel bond — nothing here delaminates after one muddy season, so the mount stays free of play.
- The rubber absorbs vibration and noise before it reaches the chassis and cabin, which you notice most on corrugations and cobbles.
- Resists abrasion, oil and weather — exactly what a lower shock mount lives in all year round.
- Maintenance free: nothing to grease, nothing to adjust for the life of the part.
- An EFS 4x4 component made specifically for shock absorber 38-5650, so there is no guesswork in sizing.

Order it when you replace 38-5650 shock absorbers, or when you are chasing a knock in a pickup axle. If the shock itself is still healthy and the play is in the eye, a new bushing fixes the problem without paying for a new damper.
Fitting notes
Replacing a bonded bush means pressing the old one out of the shock eye and the new one in — easiest with a press or a puller, with the shock off the vehicle. If that is not practical for you, our workshop can do it during a suspension service.
Why it is worth it
- The cheapest way to cure a knock from the lower shock mount.
- Bonded construction means the rubber does not peel away from the steel under pickup loads.
- Zero maintenance once fitted.
If new 38-5650 shocks are on your list, add the bushings now — you will not want to strip it down twice.
Frequently asked questions
Which shock absorber does this bushing fit?
The EFS 4x4 shock absorber part number 38-5650, in its lower mounting eye.
What are the dimensions?
38/30 × 40 × 16 mm — a stepped outer diameter of 38 and 30 mm, 40 mm wide, with a 16 mm inner bore.
Does it need greasing?
No. The design is maintenance free: the rubber is permanently bonded to the steel sleeve, so there is no grease point and no sliding joint to service.
Which vehicles is shock absorber 38-5650 intended for?
The Ford Ranger T6 PX I and II (2011-2018), Mazda BT-50 (2011-2020) and Ford Everest UA (2015-2018).
How do I know the bushing is worn out?
Knocking over bumps and noticeable play in the shock absorber eye are the usual signs — the rubber has started to separate from the steel or has crumbled.
