Shock Bushes FAQs

What are shock bushes?

A shock bush is a small but essential component that sits at either end of your rear shock, helping to connect it securely to the frame or linkage of your bike. It acts as a buffer between the shock and the mounting hardware, absorbing small vibrations and reducing metal-on-metal contact. This not only improves ride quality but also prevents premature wear of the shock and mounting points.

How do I know when to replace shock bushes?

Shock bushes should be replaced if you notice excessive play in the rear shock, hear knocking noises while riding, or if the bike feels less responsive through rough terrain. Over time, bushes can wear out or deform due to constant compression and movement. A visual inspection may show signs of ovalisation, cracks, or uneven wear, all of which indicate that replacement is needed.

Are BETD shock bushes compatible with all rear shocks?

Our shock bushes are manufactured to high precision and are available in a range of sizes to fit various rear shocks from leading brands including Fox, RockShox, and others. It's important to check your shock's eyelet size and the hardware dimensions before selecting a bush. If you’re not sure, our team can assist in identifying the right fit for your setup.

What are shock bushings made from?

At BETD, we manufacture our shock bushes from durable materials such as DU bushing compounds and anodised aluminium hardware, which are designed to withstand the rigours of mountain biking. These materials offer excellent wear resistance, reduced friction, and a longer service life compared to plastic or lower-grade alternatives.

Can I install shock bushes myself?

Yes, many riders with basic mechanical skills and the right tools can install shock bushes at home. However, proper installation requires care to avoid damaging the shock eyelets or the new bushings. A shock bush tool is typically used to ensure the bush is seated correctly. If you're unsure about the process, we recommend seeking help from a qualified bike mechanic.

Do I need any additional hardware when replacing shock bushes?

In most cases, when replacing shock bushes, it’s recommended to inspect and, if necessary, replace the mounting hardware at the same time. This includes bolts, spacers, and reducers which can wear along with the bushes. Using worn hardware with new bushes can compromise fit and performance. Many of our kits include both bushes and matching hardware for convenience.

How do I choose the right size shock bush for my bike?

To choose the correct size, you’ll need to know the eyelet diameter of your rear shock and the width of the frame or linkage mount. Most shocks follow standard sizing, but some bikes may have specific requirements. At BETD, we list all sizing details clearly on each product page, and our team is available to help confirm compatibility if needed.
