Upper polyurethane stem bush for the EFS 36-5550 rear shock absorber. 34/30 x 51 x 16 mm in 80 Duro elastomer. Covers the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 (2007-2015+) and Land Cruiser 100 application.
EFS Shock Absorber Bush, Polyurethane Upper Rear for 36-5550 — Toyota Land Cruiser 200 and 100
The rear shock mounts on a Land Cruiser carry the whole weight of a loaded cargo area — and a rubber bush eventually gives up on that job and starts to knock.
This EFS bush is 34/30 mm tall, the chunkiest in the family. It handles the upper mount of the 36-5550 rear shock absorber, and 80 Duro polyurethane holds its dimensions where rubber lets go.
Material 80 Duro polyurethane | Position Upper, rear | Dimensions 34/30 x 51 x 16 mm | Shock EFS 36-5550 |
Key benefits
- 80 Duro polyurethane holds its shape far longer than rubber, so the play does not come back after one season.
- Less play between the bush and the shock stem means more precise damper action and fewer knocks over bumps.
- The material shrugs off oil, grit, moisture and UV — everything a shock mount actually lives in.
- Better vibration damping means a quieter suspension and less noise carried into the body.
- Made for EFS 4x4 shock absorbers and aimed at hard off-road use.

This is for anyone servicing an EFS suspension who wants the shock mount to be as fresh as the damper itself. Polyurethane instead of rubber pays off on a vehicle that regularly sees rough ground, carries load, or is simply meant to cover a lot of kilometres before the play comes back.
Fitting notes
The bush works on the shock absorber mounting stem, between the eye and the body or bracket. It is replaced with the shock off the car, together with the washers from that side. If you are fitting new shocks, change the bushes at the same time — a tired bush will spoil the feel of a brand new damper. Check how many pieces one mount takes on your vehicle before ordering.
Why it is worth it
- Published dimensions and a shock list, so you match the bush by part number rather than by eye.
- 80 Duro polyurethane: less play and a longer life than the rubber equivalent.
- A small part that decides whether a new shock absorber actually performs as it should.
Ordering shocks? Add the bushes to the same order — doing both while the suspension is apart saves an hour of labour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which shock absorbers does this bush fit?
as the upper stem bush for the EFS 36-5550 rear shock absorber
What are its dimensions?
Length x diameter x bore: 34/30 x 51 x 16 mm.
Why polyurethane rather than rubber?
80 Duro polyurethane keeps its rebound properties longer, leaves less play on the stem and damps vibration better. It also resists oil, grit, moisture and UV.
Which vehicles is the 36-5550 shock listed for?
The distributor lists the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 (2007-2015+) and the Toyota Land Cruiser 100.
When should the bushes be replaced?
Ideally when the shocks are replaced, or as soon as you hear knocking and feel play around the mount. A worn bush spoils the action of even a brand new damper.
