Hi all,

Advice please. I have worn out one of the shock eye bushings on my Zesty and have been looking at a replacement, pretty sure that I have seen these replaced with needle bearings I think they were from the place in the states that does the fork seals and the like. DOes anybody know of a UK dealer or if these are something that I can pick up from a local bearing factors place. Also will these last any longer than the machined ally thats there as standard??

Sam

The bushes are designed to wear out and protect the shock body. TF Tuned can provide bushes for pretty much any shock but you may find your lbs can do the same job for half the price, I know mine does.

£25 posted, make sure yours is 25.4mm wide first, the kit replaces the top hat reducers as well so check how wide your shock is with the reducers/top hats fitted, the kit comes with a sleeve so both bolt sizes will fit through ok,
