Pontiac G8 Shock bushings are the universal polyurethane eye bushing kits used to replace worn or deteriorated rubber bushings at the upper and lower shock absorber eye mounting positions. On shock absorbers that use an eye-style mount at the upper or lower end, the bushing presses into the eye bore and over the mounting bolt or pin, providing the compliant interface that allows the shock to articulate through its designed range of angular movement while isolating the mount from vibration. When these bushings wear or compress beyond their designed compliance, play develops at the eye mount, producing the characteristic knock from the shock mount position under suspension travel and allowing the shock absorber to move at the mount interface in a way that reduces damping precision.
The Pontiac G8 shock bushings range covers four universal polyurethane eye bushing kits in dimensionally specified ID and length combinations, covering the most common shock absorber eye bore sizes used across passenger cars, trucks, SUVs and 4WDs in both pack-of-four and individual formats. The correct bushing is selected by matching the ID to the shock mounting bolt diameter and the length to the shock eye bore depth. All products are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Shock absorber eye bushings at the upper and lower mount positions operate under continuous angular deflection with every suspension input, and under the vibration and road shock that the shock absorber transmits through its mounts throughout the vehicle's service life. Factory rubber shock eye bushings compress and crack progressively, first introducing a faint knock at the mount that is often attributed to other causes, then allowing enough play to measurably reduce the precision with which the shock absorber is located in its mount during suspension travel.
Renewing Pontiac G8 shock eye bushings with correctly dimensioned polyurethane alternatives restores the correct interference fit in the eye bore, eliminates mount knock and returns the shock absorber to a correctly located and correctly compliant mounting that allows it to operate through its full designed travel range without binding or play at the eye interface.
The Pontiac G8 shock bushing range includes:
Universal shock eye bushings are a low-cost repair for the mount knock and damping imprecision that worn shock eye bushings introduce, and their dimensional specification makes them usable across a broad range of platforms and aftermarket shock absorbers without requiring a vehicle-specific part number. Selecting the correct bushing requires matching the inner diameter to the mounting bolt and the length to the shock eye bore depth, and the available specifications cover the most common shock eye dimensions used across everyday and off-road platforms.
For workshops completing shock absorber replacements and suspension services, having the correct Pontiac G8 shock eye bushing dimensions on hand ensures the shock mounts are correctly renewed at both ends at the time of the shock service, preventing the premature mount knock that results from installing new shocks with worn eye bushings.
Pontiac G8 Universal shock eye bushings install at the upper or lower shock absorber eye mount position by pressing into the eye bore over the mounting bolt or pin. Installation time is approximately one hour per kit. The correct bushing is selected by matching the inner diameter to the mounting bolt diameter and the length to the shock eye bore depth. For additional technical assistance, a dedicated support team is available to confirm correct dimensional selection for the specific shock absorber and mount configuration.
Pontiac G8 Shock bushings are manufactured from high-strength polyurethane engineered to withstand the angular deflection, vibration and environmental exposure that shock absorber eye mount positions are subject to in everyday, performance and off-road use. Polyurethane maintains its interference fit in the eye bore for longer than factory rubber alternatives under the continuous articulation that shock eye mounts experience, delivering consistent mount compliance and reduced knock throughout the service life of the installation. All products are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Pontiac G8 Shock bushings are a practical solution for:
The right shock bushing kit restores the correct interference fit and compliance at the shock absorber eye mount, eliminates mount knock and ensures the shock absorber operates through its full travel range with correct articulation at every mount position.
Explore the full Pontiac G8 shock bushings range and find the right dimensional specification for your application. With universal polyurethane shock eye bushings in multiple pack sizes and dimensional specifications, a straight-style single and a general universal single, you can renew every shock absorber eye mount position accurately and complete every shock absorber service with confidence.
