It seems that my shocks are loose[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] I asume that my bushings are bad. Can you get replacements?

 

Anybody?

 

seems the shock pivots never get lube from the factory, they are all dry inside. at least mine were. dealer can get you new ones.
how bad are they? I have about 1/8" play, I'm gonna let them go for a while longer. I did take them apart and clean and lube them though.
if/when you get new ones, get the metal pivot the bolt goes through and the plastic bushings - all of it - and lube them well before install. put a little grease on the bolt to fight corrosion, but mainly lube the outside of the metal pivot and the inside of the bushings. use a good synthetic with moly because it holds better when wet.

 

I have a good 1/8 of play. I didn't see a parts # in the book,glad to hear thay sell them. Thanks

 

same here - couldn't find part #, but my local dealer said he can get them, although I haven't actually tried yet. you might contact PivotWorks - they have a website I think. I know they make a-arm pivots for the DS, might make shock pivots too.
The Bomb parts book is actually missing several items from what I here.

 

I just though of a idea. Rap sheet metal around the bushing to make it bigger.

 

Well I did it and thay are tight again[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] It beats spending 45 bucks at the dealer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
