No DU Bushing in Bottom Shock Eyelet

[AlanD]

Hi All,

 

Decided to service the rear shock today as had all the stuffs to do it. Was my first air can service and was pretty easy apart from trying to get the shock back on the Trance.

 

I noticed there was no DU bushing in the bottom eyelet and had "spacers" each side so it fits to the frame and where the bolt goes through.

 

Is this normal or does it need a DU bushing? Its a fox float x on a giant trance.

Its normal on a Trance. 

I had a 2012 model which did not have any bushes/mounting hardware at the bottom, only the top eyelet had.

Cool. The top eyelet has and wondering if the black spacer things act as the bushings

Maestro doesn't use a DU bushing on the shock body eyelet, the shaft turns on bearings.

 

Just make sure you get all the spacers back in the right order, there are 4 of them in total and the shock should rotate freely on the lower bearings when the pivot axle is tight.

Thanks. I made a mental note of the spacers but should have written it down as it was quite a challenge to get them all back in and the pivot axle but thinks i got em all in correctly.
