Small but mighty, shock bushes play a crucial role in your mountain bike’s suspension performance. These seemingly simple components absorb impact and maintain smooth travel, keeping your ride comfortable and controlled. But with various options available, selecting the right shock bushings can feel overwhelming. This guide will help you navigate the world of shock bushings and ensure you choose the best fit for your bike.
A Guide to Shock Bushes
Shock bushings are located at the top and bottom mounting points of your rear shock. They provide a low-friction interface between the shock and the frame, allowing the shock to articulate smoothly. Over time, these bushings wear out, causing increased friction, creaking noises, and a sloppy feel in your suspension. Here are some of the signs that you need new shock bushes for your bike:
- Creaking noises from the rear suspension
- Increased play or slop in the shock movement
- Reduced suspension performance
- Uneven tire wear
