Motorcycle Shock Linkage Bearing & Seal Kits

Suspension Linkage Bearings

Suspension linkage bearings connect the shock absorber to the swingarm, providing low-friction articulation and consistent suspension behaviour across travel. These kits restore smooth damping response and renew wear items for accurate chassis geometry.

Smooth rear suspension articulation

• Reduce friction and play for predictable damping
• Restore proper swingarm and link alignment
• Extend service intervals with new seals and grease paths
• Available as complete rebuild kits or individual consumables

Linkage kits commonly include teflon ring bushes, open needle roller bearings in outer races, spherical bearings, inner spacer tubes, flanged collars, rubber lipped seals, o-rings, machined end caps, washers and wire retaining snap rings. Match with shock absorber mounting bearings, swingarm bearings and steering stem bearing kits. See our maintenance guides: bike maintenance and suspension linkage maintenance, or book the suspension workshop.

Recommended Pairings

Consider fitting new bearings with professional tools from Suspension Tools for correct installation.
