Motorcycle Suspension Rod Guide Bushes

All rebuildable suspensions need some basic shared parts - fasteners such as locknuts to hold damping pistons to base towers, teflon lined shaft collars or acetal rod bushes to hold sliding tubes concentric without too much friction, tiny mid-speed valve (also called refill or non-return) springs to help tune your shim stack, rubber o-rings to keep oil and gas pressure sealed from each other. Motorbike front fork & rear shock absorbers both need these when servicing or tuning, and here is where you'll find them.

These steel or brass ring bushings are often found in the Cartridge Seal Cases with a friction-less coating on the inside to slide easily over the main cartridge rod, aligned in the middle of the fork legs. They can wear away the coating & start grinding away from side loads - so this bush prevents parts scraping & stops leaks.
These are not the big Fork Tubes Inner Slide Bush or it's counterpart the Outer Guide Bush - which are also available as an Inner & Outer Kit. We sell the bushes found on the outside of your Spring Perches & compression adjuster Free Pistons separately too.
