Suspension Repair Kit for Suzuki Samurai – Rubber Bushings
Suspension repair kit for the Suzuki Samurai with rubber bushings – the option closest to factory, suited to cars used mainly on road and on easier trails. Renewing worn bushings takes the play out of the leaf spring mounts, along with the knocking and the delayed response.
Suspension Repair Kit for Suzuki Samurai – Rubber Bushings
Knocking from under the floor over speed bumps, and the feeling that the rear of the car answers half a beat late, usually trace back to one thing on a Samurai: worn bushings in the leaf spring mounts. They work with every movement of the suspension, and they tend to get replaced only once you can hear them.
This is the Suzuki Samurai suspension repair kit with rubber bushings – the option closest to the factory setup, for owners who value the original ride quality and do not want to move to polyurethane.
FITMENT Suzuki Samurai |
BUSHING MATERIAL Rubber |
Key benefits
- Rubber bushings keep the character of the factory ride – the right choice for a car used mainly on road and on easier trails.
- Replacing worn bushings removes play in the spring mounts, and with it the knocking and the delayed suspension response.
- A repair kit rather than a list of loose items – one order instead of chasing small parts.
Specification
- Part number: NOM-SAMRUB-FULL
- Model: Suzuki Samurai
- Bushing material: rubber
Who it is for – for a Samurai whose suspension has started to knock, where you want behaviour close to standard rather than the firmer feel of polyurethane. If you would prefer a harder compound with better resistance to water and grease, we also stock polyurethane bushing sets in red (NOM-SAMPOLIRED) and yellow (NOM-SAMPOLIYELL).
Installation notes
The job is easiest with the springs removed – old rubber normally has to be pressed out, and shackle bolts that have been in place for decades are often seized. The Szekla4x4 workshop does this work alongside a full suspension inspection.
Why it is worth it
- A low outlay against a clear gain in handling and comfort.
- A natural part of refreshing the suspension when springs or shock absorbers are being changed.
If the bushings on your Samurai have never been touched, this is the cheapest item on the list of jobs worth doing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this differ from the polyurethane version?
The bushings are rubber, so the result stays closer to the factory setup. The polyurethane sets are NOM-SAMPOLIRED (red) and NOM-SAMPOLIYELL (yellow).
Which model does it fit?
Suzuki Samurai – the model stated in the specification table for this part number.
When should the bushings be replaced?
When the springs knock over bumps or the suspension answers noticeably late, and as a matter of course whenever the leaf springs are changed.
