Santa Cruz Lower Link Kit

No, this specific kit (part number 04-20889) is designed exclusively for the V10 7. It will not fit earlier or later generations of the V10, so please double-check your frame model year before purchasing.

The kit comes as a complete sub-assembly, which includes the lower link itself, the necessary pivot dust shields, and the flip chips required for geometry adjustment. It provides everything you need to refresh the core of your bike's suspension linkage.

The kit is engineered for straightforward home maintenance, so you won't need proprietary or overly complex tools. However, you should have a reliable torque wrench on hand to ensure every bolt is tightened to the manufacturer's exact specifications.

Over time, the pivot points in your suspension can develop play or wear due to the high forces experienced during downhill riding. Replacing the lower link restores the original responsiveness and stiffness of your suspension, eliminating unwanted movement and noise.

Yes, it is standard practice to apply a light coating of high-quality suspension grease to the pivot surfaces and bearings during installation. This helps ensure smooth movement and protects the components from moisture and debris.
