Shock Absorber Bush is a rubber mounting bush that fits into the shock absorber mounting eyes, locating the damper at its chassis and axle attachment points.

The bush isolates vibration and controls movement at each mounting point, maintaining correct damper geometry and preventing metal-to-metal contact between the shock absorber eye and the mounting bracket.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 552818 shock absorber bush used for?
The 552818 is a rubber mounting bush that fits into the shock absorber eye at chassis and axle attachment points, isolating vibration and preventing metal-to-metal contact at the damper mounting. Used on Defender front and rear (to VIN WA159806), Discovery 1 (VIN-limited positions), Range Rover Classic, and Series 2 and 3 (rear 109" only). On Defender 2007-2016, front shock absorber position only.
When should shock absorber bushes be replaced on a Land Rover?
Replace shock absorber bushes when the rubber shows cracking, perishing, or deformation, or when you notice clunking over rough ground, excessive body movement, or visible metal-to-metal contact at the damper mounting points. Bushes typically degrade with age and heat exposure rather than at a fixed mileage interval.
How many 552818 bushes are needed for a full shock absorber replacement?
Each shock absorber has two mounting eyes — one at the chassis and one at the axle — so each damper typically requires two bushes. A full four-shock replacement typically requires eight bushes in total. Confirm fitment against your model and year, as some positions use a different bush specification.
