Energy Suspension 3.4123 Body Mount Bushings Kit - Standard Cab

Body Mount Bushings | 1988-1998 Chevrolet C3500

The body mount is what keeps the entire vehicle together. They provide a solid connection between the frame and the body of the vehicle, and they also cushion vibrations from the road and engine. If you are driving the vehicles that these bushings were made for, like the 1988-1998 Chevrolet C3500 and the 1988-1998 GMC Suburban V2500, you will likely need to replace the original rubber body bushings because of their age or the amount of wear that is on them. When the body mounts are worn down, the vehicle's frame and body's connection may start to become loose and look misaligned in some areas. Luckily, this 3.4123 body mount bushings kit can restore alignment between the cab and the bed that has been thrown off by the bad body mounts. They're great for older vehicles that are either used as work vehicles or displayed for others to see!

The Symptoms of Worn Out Body Mounts

Over the course of a vehicle's life, the connection between the frame and body of the vehicle will deteriorate from general wear and tear, temperature shifts, dirt, and debris. However, if they are exposed to other extraneous circumstances, like constantly going off-road or hauling heavy loads, the body mount bushings may wear out more than usual. Since rubber mounts are softer they can reduce a lot of vibration, but continual compression and expansion eventually breaks down the rubber. Multiple hazards like road salts, salty coastal air, dirt, debris, and general stress will wear down the bushings quicker than they normally would from ordinary strain. When the bushings fail, the vehicle's body will start to sag in certain areas and can cause areas like the doors, hood, and trunks to become more difficult to open or close. One of the main ways to tell if your vehicle is sagging is to look at its profile and see if there are any areas where it is crooked.

What Makes these Body Mounts so Special?

These 3.4123 body mounts have the ability to keep the vehicle together while driving through rough terrain and hauling heavy loads. They are made of polyurethane, a material that is stronger than the rubber that comprises the factory bushings. They provide a stronger connection between the body and frame and prevent sagging and misalignment between them. While rubber can absorb more vibrations, poly lasts much longer and can resist the strain of repeatedly being pressed and released. In addition, we are so confident in polyurethane's performance that all Energy Suspension polyurethane parts are covered by a lifetime warranty.

Whether your vehicle is on the road or in a garage, if you notice your vehicle's body is sagging, then the 3.4123 body mount bushings kit will help put that vehicle back to the way it's supposed to be!
