SEALS WIPERS BUSHINGS AND WEAR PART REPLACEMENT |

FACTS ABOUT SEALS WIPERS BUSHINGS AND WEAR PARTS Never ride a leaking shock or fork. Suspension components are high wear items that are in constant motion similar to your engines piston, even worse they are directly exposed to the elements-They wear quickly!. Each time your suspension compresses, your forks hitting a bump and your shock compressing through its linkage stroke, they also incur "lateral leverage forces" on the bushings and shaft seals that tend to wear on every seal and bushing causing them to become loose and wasted!. It is no surprise that any suspension seal or part can leak or wear out, brand new bikes can leak right from the showroom floor! Older and more contaminated suspension fluid can contribute to wear part failures and poor ride quality. Replacing "only a seal" does little good if the bushings, seal carrier, or related parts are also loose, seasoned and wasted. Fresh suspension bushings make your forks and shock have a much better feel, always make any "seasoned" suspension fresh and healthy with any needed parts before valving or spring rate mods. New bikes directly off the showroom floor can be revalved and or resprung without the need for seals, bushings and other wear parts. If you are concerned as we are about quality performance never hesitate to include any questionable seals, wipers, bushings or wear parts they are well worth their price and are even updated to be better parts.
