The shock mounts are responsible for being the primary reaction surface for the shock absorber. OEM mounts are soft and flexible to shield the driver from the road. When the shock pushes against them, they deform in an unpredictable manner, reducing the ability of the shock absorber to control the suspension and keep the tires in contact with the ground. Rubber mounts try to do the job of the shock absorber, but without the predictability of the shock.
Our spherical upper shock mounts provide the perfect reaction surface for the shocks. They increase the efficiency of the shock, which results in:
keeping the tires more firmly on the ground
allowing the shock to better control body roll
reducing bounciness of the rear end
decreasing the reaction time between driver inputs and vehicle response
Simply put, they let the shock be the only shock in the system.
The Spherical Upper Shock Mounts are made from the highest grade materials. The body is made from high strength 7075 Aluminum and finished with a black anodized coating for corrosion resistance. The shock is attached to an oversized PTFE-lined stainless steel racing spec spherical bearing by way of a 17-4 PH stainless steel adapter sleeve for ultimate strength and durability. They are also fully rebuildable.
