Shox re-bushing ????
Deckman001 - 3/9/06 at 05:55 PM

Hi all, has anyone here had to replace their shox bushes ? I've a set of avo's that have a 7/16th hole (11.03)on them, but my bracket is approx 10mm and I can't get a drill in to re-drill it bigger, so I was thinking of changing the metalastic bush to a smaller bored one of 10mm, any thoughts ??
Cheers

i need to do this too, as my bushes have sagged drastically. Was thinking of removing the full lot and either replacing or maybe get a spherical bearing to use.

Would it be easy to convert to rod end ?? it's only the top mount I have a problem with !

it might be easier to find someone to turn some tight fit sleeves to set the holesize down on a lathe?

I did consider that ned, but the sleeve would only be .5mm thick, not sure if it would be poss ??

No one else then had to do this then ?, not even to replace worn bushes ?????
