Bilstein Shock Bushing Replacement Recommendations '85 FJ60 (3 Viewers)

[cruiserinsanity]

I'm trying to determine the correct eyelet bushings for the rear Bilsteins on my 60, top and bottom. The Bilsteins are 5100 (33-185606). My question is does anyone have a recommended eyelet bushing for these shocks? I found an Energy Suspension bushing (9.8107G) that I believe may work, but I wanted to see if anyone has a better bushing that has already been used for this.

What is your pin diameter on the frame and the lower mounts?
There’s two sizes and I believe the change is either mid 87 or when everything went FJ62 (at least for USA market).

Either way I should have part numbers for both versions since I’ve had to play with this before. On mobile now but can post them later when I take a lunch break

Ok,

These are poly ones and I like them more then the regular rubber bushings that come with the shocks

Energy Suspension 9.8107G - is the smaller 5/8" size
Energy Suspension 9.8108G- is the larger/later 3/4" size


Here are the rubber Bilstein ones though just for completeness

Bilstein E4-B46-248B - 5/8"
Bilstein 2202G - 3/4"

I have not measured my mounts, however, I believe the top mounts are 5/8” and my spring plates are from a 62 so they are probably 3/4”. I’ll check them tonight. Thanks Matt.
