EFS Metal Shock Absorber Sleeve 16 x 19 x 38 mm
EFS 4x4 metal shock absorber sleeve, 16 x 19 x 38 mm. It sits inside the damper mount, takes the clamping load of the bolt, holds the spacing and protects the elastic bushes from being crushed. The kind of part you renew together with the polyurethane bushes during a rebuild.
EFS Metal Shock Absorber Sleeve 16 x 19 x 38 mm
A metal sleeve is the part you only think about when it is missing from the box halfway through a suspension rebuild. It works inside the shock mount: it carries the clamping load of the bolt, holds the correct spacing and stops the soft parts from being crushed.
This is an item from the EFS 4x4 shock hardware catalogue measuring 16 x 19 x 38 mm — the natural companion to the polyurethane bushes from the same range.

Key benefits
- A metal sleeve does not squash under torque, so the mounting bolt can be tightened to the correct figure without crushing an elastic part.
- It holds its dimension for its whole service life — it does not settle or shift the mounting geometry.
- It guides the bolt or pin precisely in the shock eye, limiting play and stopping the hole from wearing oval.

Who it is for
For anyone refreshing EFS damper mounts. When the polyurethane bushes come out, the metal sleeve is very often due as well — it collects the same corrosion and the same wear from the bolt. Measure the old one and compare it with 16 x 19 x 38 mm.
Why it is worth it
- A confirmed dimension straight from the manufacturer's product page.
- Completes the set with EFS polyurethane bushes during a mount rebuild.
- A negligible cost with a real effect on how correctly the mount torques up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions?
16 x 19 x 38 mm, exactly as the manufacturer states them on the product page.
Why a metal sleeve alongside a polyurethane one?
The metal sleeve carries the clamping load of the bolt and holds the spacing in the mount, so the polyurethane part is not crushed by the tightening torque.
How do I choose the right sleeve?
Measure the old one and compare all three figures. The same range also offers 12 x 16 x 36 mm and 19 x 22 x 38 mm.
