Motorcycle Shock Suspension Spring Lower Seat

Teknik Shock Spring Seat

Shock Spring Seat

The bottom end of a motorbike's rear shock absorber needs a way to attach the coil spring to the shock shaft, and this assembly must hold the bottoming out rubber safely in place. A holder cup around the main shaft holds the conical bumper, with a lock ring (shaped like a big c-clip) sat on top to retain the spring; see our article on replacing shock springs for a better idea.

How Shock Spring Seats Retain Springs and Protect Bump Stops

  • Securely retain the bottoming out rubber and conical bumper using a holder cup and lock ring, preventing dislodgement under compression.
  • Provide a spring perch with an inner alignment lip that keeps the coil sitting concentrically around the damper to avoid rubbing during suspension movement; view compatible shock spring hardware.
  • Ring collar height acts as a spacer washer or shim to adapt shorter springs to longer shocks and to fine-tune pre load pressure — learn about spring rate, preload & sag.
  • If your coilover is hitting bump stops, tune compression damping first; if maxed out consider a shock revalve with our damping piston valving kits.

Recommended Pairings

Consider matching spring seats with Suspension Tools for safe installation and accurate preload setup.
