Hiya

anyone know where i can buy rer shock bushes:

and secondly

how are the usually measured, i can guess one size is the width of the bush eye(where the bolt goes through), but what is the second, is that the diameter of the whole in the shock, or is it the width of the bush, along its lenghth, for eample

my fox triad has bushes fitted that
air can end
is 2 piece with a combined measurement
takes a 8mm bolt(through them)
fit a12mm aperture in the actuall shock with a flange to 15mm
and are 15mm wide

and the other end
single piece

6mm bolt
fit a 12 mm apperture in th shock
and is 15mm wide

so if i buy a new rear shock, that (comes with no hardware) from chain reaction
how do i decide what bushes i need
can anyone help

cheers
smoke me a kipper ill be back for breakfast

    call mojo. they will have them.

    be aware that there is a DU bush that needs pressing out of the shock and a new one will nee fitting as well as the mounting hardware.
