DHX shock bushing on a Stinky

Westie

The shock bushings on my Stinky are causing me grief, Looking at the TF Tuned site it shows the Du Bushings that press into the shock eyelet and the reducers or a pin. Should these rotate in the Du bushing? on my Stinky the bolts seem to be what the shock rotates on and it all seems really stiff.

No the bushings shouldn't rotate. and the reducers shouldnt rotate on the shock bolt. as the bushings are supposed to do the wearing out bit. If the reducers could freely spin on the bolts they would wear eachother out [:)] think i got that all right?

Something round here tastes bad. Could be plain old bad taste.

I didn't explain clearly enough before, Im looking at the picture here ontf tuned. My shock seems to have a heavy duty pin and spacer setup on one end of the shock and the standard mount on the other. Just to make sure, should the pin/reducer part rotate in the part labled bush? thanks

Sir HC

The pin should rotate in the bush, but should not rotate on the bolt that connects it to the frame and rockers.

https://www.betd.co.uk/ for Hulahoop shock bushes, last a darn site longer than the metal ones.

Ok, then it seems I need a new set of bushings, they only lasted a year. Thanks
