After a crispy ride around Cannock today I noticed some play in the bushing that locates the rear shock to the flip-flop arm of my 2004 S-works Enduro (FSR).

Are these still available to buy? (I bloody hope so!)

Can anyone point me in the right direction please. The shock is an old Fox R23 (I'm guessing the original).

(Should probably look at replacing the shock/brain anyway soon I guess but it still works.)

Cheers Jon.

If it's a standard shock then yep. If it's some specialized custom madness then probably also yep.

If I was you I'd get one of these:

Comes with a couple of bushes and the right tool to fit them. You can do it without the right tool but it's not so simple, and this'll last you til Fox decide to launch 650b shock bushings.

Excellent. Cheers for that.
I'm pretty sure it's a standard setup looking at older pics of others bikes.

I think I've found a full rear end bearing set too. Glad they're still about as I love my old ride.
