Lower bonded rubber-metal bush for the EFS 36-5552 and 36-5582 shock absorbers, 40/32 x 41 x 14 mm. The steel core is permanently bonded to the rubber, so it damps vibration without developing play. Maintenance-free and resistant to oils and weather. Price per piece.
EFS Shock Absorber Bush, Bonded Rubber-Metal 40/32 x 41 x 14 mm — Lower
A worn shock bush gives itself away long before the shock does: knocking over speed bumps, perceptible play as you pull away and accelerated wear of the mount itself. Replacing the bush alone is often the cheaper and more sensible fix.
This one belongs in the lower mount of the EFS 36-5552 and 36-5582 shock absorbers. The steel core is permanently bonded to the rubber, so the rubber cannot rotate inside the sleeve and work itself loose.
Dimensions 40/32 x 41 x 14 mm | Position Lower bush | For shocks EFS 36-5552 and 36-5582 |
Key benefits
- A permanent rubber-to-metal bond means no play develops at the interface, even after long service in rough conditions.
- The rubber damps vibration and cuts the noise passed from the suspension into the body.
- Resistant to abrasion and to contact with oils and the weather — this part sits in one of the most exposed places under the vehicle.
- Maintenance-free: no greasing and no periodic adjustment.

What it fits
The bush is specified for the EFS 36-5552 and 36-5582 shock absorbers. According to the distributor, those shocks are fitted to the Toyota Land Cruiser 100 and Lexus 470 from 2000, and to the Mitsubishi Pajero V40, V60 and V80 from 2000 to 2012 and later. Check the part number of the shock actually on your vehicle before ordering — that is what determines the bush size.
Fitting notes
- The price is for one piece, so order as many as you are replacing.
- Compare the 40/32 x 41 x 14 mm dimensions with the old bush before ordering; different EFS shock ranges use different bush sizes.
- The bush is pressed into the shock eye — a press or a vice with suitable spacers makes the job straightforward.
Why buy it
- Replacing a tired bush brings back quiet suspension without paying for a new shock absorber.
- A genuine EFS part is dimensioned for specific shock part numbers, so you are not improvising with a near-enough substitute.
