Fox Shock Mounting Hardware

Compatibility is determined by your frame's mounting width and the shock eyelet size. This specific kit features a 6mm mounting width and a 20mm length, so you must measure your frame's shock mount spacing and the shock eyelet diameter to ensure an exact match before purchasing.

Yes, this pack contains four pieces of hardware, which is the standard requirement to secure one rear shock to a frame. It includes the necessary alloy spacers and pins to create a complete, play-free connection.

Over time, the constant movement of your suspension can cause the hardware to wear down, leading to 'play' or knocking sounds in your rear shock. Replacing worn hardware restores a tight, precise connection, which protects your shock bushings and ensures the suspension performs as smoothly as the manufacturer intended.

While you don't need highly specialized tools, you will need a basic set of hex keys and potentially a shock bushing tool to press the hardware into the shock eyelet. If you are comfortable performing routine bike maintenance, installation is straightforward.

Alloy is the standard choice for this application because it offers an ideal balance of strength and weight. It is durable enough to handle the forces of aggressive trail riding while remaining lightweight, ensuring your suspension system doesn't add unnecessary bulk to your bike.
