Rear shock size?

My LBS were unable to remove the pivot bearings from the frame of my ancient Orange Patriot.

But, armed only with the mallet I use for knocking in tent pegs and a mutlitool, I suceeded where they failed. I totally rule.

Anyway, now I've fixed the bearings, turns out the grinding noise was the rear shock all along.

And so, finally, to my question: I want a Fox RP23 Shock. I know I need one that's 190mm long, but I was expecting to be specify the dimensions of the bushings I'll need. On all the online retailers, there's just the one option (or I should perhaps say no option), and nowhere (inc. the Fox website) can I find the size of the bushings that come as standard.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

    you also need to know the stroke for the shock.

    measure the old mounting kit or ask Mojo they have all the info on what kit you will need.

    measurements needed are width and hole size.
