Santa Cruz 5010 Lower Link Kit

This kit is designed specifically for the 5010 3 AL, 5010 3 C, 5010 5 C, and the Blur LT 2.0. Please verify your specific frame model and generation before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Yes, this kit comes with the main lower link assembly, the flip chips required for geometry adjustment, and all the necessary mounting hardware. It is a complete package for replacing or upgrading your existing link.

You can service this yourself without needing specialized tools. However, it is critical that you follow the manufacturer's torque specifications during installation to ensure your suspension functions correctly and safely.

Replacing the lower link is typically necessary if you notice play in the suspension, creaking that persists after standard maintenance, or if the original link has sustained damage. A fresh link restores the intended stiffness and suspension kinematics of your frame.

The included flip chips allow you to adjust your bike's geometry, typically altering the bottom bracket height and head tube angle. This lets you fine-tune the handling characteristics of your 5010 or Blur to better suit your riding style or terrain.
