JXB Performance Rear Spherical Upper Shock Mounts - Audi B8/8.5 - 14T Bearing - B8032A0
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.
