Specialized Stumpjumper Suspension Bolt Kit

No, this specific kit is designed exclusively for 2021-2024 Stumpjumper and Stumpjumper EVO alloy frames. Carbon frames utilize different hardware specifications and pivot designs.

You should consider replacing your hardware if you notice persistent creaking from the rear linkage, visible wear on the bolt heads, or if you detect any lateral play in the rear triangle that persists after tightening the bolts to the correct torque.

This kit includes the essential pivot bolts and spacers required to refresh the linkage hardware. However, it does not include the pivot bearings themselves, which should be inspected separately for wear.

You will need a standard set of high-quality hex keys and a torque wrench. It is critical to use a torque wrench to ensure every bolt is tightened to the factory-specified values to prevent damage to the frame or hardware.

Yes, it is standard practice to apply a small amount of blue medium-strength thread locker to the threads of the bolts during installation. This helps prevent the hardware from loosening due to the constant vibrations experienced on the trail.
