RockShox Shock Hardware

Compatibility is determined by the specific width of your frame's shock mount and the eyelet diameter of your rear shock. You must measure the mounting width of your frame precisely to ensure the 27.4 mm length matches your setup, as even a millimeter of difference can cause binding or play in the suspension.

This kit typically includes a central pin or sleeve that passes through the shock eyelet bushing, flanked by two spacers or reducers that sit between the shock and the frame mounts. This configuration is designed to center the shock and provide a smooth, low-friction pivot point.

While it is sometimes possible, it is generally recommended to replace the hardware when installing a new shock or if you notice play in your suspension. Over time, the metal components can wear down or deform, which compromises the fit and can lead to premature wear on your shock's eyelet bushings.

Yes, often. If your suspension is making a knocking sound, it is frequently caused by worn-out mounting hardware creating 'slop' or play at the pivot point. Installing a fresh, precision-engineered kit like this one can eliminate that movement and restore a quiet, solid feel to your ride.

No, this kit includes the mounting hardware (the pin and spacers) that interfaces with the shock's eyelet. You will need to ensure your shock already has the correct DU bushing or bearing installed in the eyelet for this hardware to seat into properly.
