I would like to replace the shock on my nukeproof. The shock on the right (1) was on the bike from new, and the shock on the left (2) is the replacement.

Both are 'trunnion' I think, but the replacement shock has a different bearing at the bottom. Is there an adaptor I can buy to make the new shock fit? If not, what are my options?

(ps the attachment on 1 doesn't look like it would fit over the bearing on 2 even if I removed the bushing)

Is the one on the right from a Specialized bike? It looks like you would need to replace the damper body / shaft on the left.

You should be able to fit new shock hardware to shock 2, I think it's M8 x 30mm that would replicate the bearing mount on shock 1. Currently £18 from tf tuned.

You can buy an aftermarket bearing mount to fit a standard bushing mount. Tf tuned sell the Rockshox and Fox version. I recently fitted the Fox one to my Rockshox shock, it presses into the shock in place of the bushing
