Find your Bike:
There are many sub-assemblies connected to a shock absorber body and they all need to be attached securely. Not all rear shocks can be disassembled though - find out if it can be rebuilt in our FAQ on servicable shocks.
The nitrogen bladder & cap need a wire snap ring to get snapped into place in the piggyback section of the coilover - you can find these same stopper rings in the gas bladder retaining clips section. The shaft oil seal case needs a c-clip to secure it to the bottom of the damper too - you will need a seal head depressor to push it down so you can pick the wire ring out during a rebuild.
Tough but thin spring steel sitting in finely machined grooves means they hold strong pressure when installed properly; when you're servicing your bike's shock we carry replacement OEM parts for both KYB & Showa motorbike suspensions.
Consider matching your servicing with Suspension Tools to simplify ring installation and removal.
Browse our range of replacement retaining rings and wire snap clips for shock absorber servicing and rebuilds.
