Need Avanti D8 Rear lower Shock Bushes
- Thread starter Matt- D8
- Start date
They're not bushings, but needle roller bearings.
I bought some from CBC bearings -it ads up though ($): it cost me about $50 for 4 (and there are a total of 6). You need to retain the pivot shafts as the bearings are sold with the race and outer only.
Before you go rushing out to buy a new set of bearings I would investigate your shock bushings, these are the more likely source of play (bearings have to be REALLY farked before they develop play. ie the bike would be making horrible scrunching, squeaking noises if they were that far gone.

Any bike shop should be able to get them in for you. -just take your shock in and they'll sort you out. From memory I think the D8 bushing width is 22mm and the bolt is 6mm.
I haven't decided whether it is worth replacing the female bush or just the aluminium male part (which is softer and should sustain the greater wear).
