Frequently Asked Questions
Will this hardware fit my RockShox shock?
This kit fits shocks and frames that specify an 8x23.3 (1/2") mounting interface and matches SRAM Model ID RS-SPP-A0. Verify your shock eyelet inner diameter and width against the 8x23.3 dimension before purchasing; consult your shock or frame manual if unsure.
What tools and torque are required for installation?
Installation generally requires a socket or hex driver for the retaining bolts and a press or vice for sleeve installation. Follow your shock manufacturer's torque specs for the shock bolts—overtightening can damage bushings, while undertightening may allow movement at the mount.
Is any grease or anti-seize needed with this hardware?
Apply a thin film of suspension-grade grease to the sleeve and inner surfaces to prevent creaks and galvanic corrosion, unless the shock manufacturer specifies a dry fit. Avoid heavy grease that can attract grit into seals.
Can I reuse my old sleeves when installing new hardware?
Reusing old sleeves is not recommended if they show signs of wear, corrosion, or scoring. New precision sleeves ensure concentric alignment and preserve seal life—replacing the entire kit is the best way to restore factory performance.
How do I know if my hardware is worn and needs replacement?
Common signs of wear include play or slop at the shock mounts, creaking noises under compression, and accelerated seal or bushing wear. If you notice any of these, replacing the mounting hardware will often eliminate the issue and protect your shock internals.
Is this a full shock rebuild kit?
No—this product is a mounting hardware kit for the rear shock eyelets. It does not include internal shock components like seals, foam rings, or dampers. Use it alongside a proper rebuild kit when servicing the shock internals.
Buying Guide
When buying rear shock mounting hardware, confirm the pin diameter and the mount width—this kit is specific to the 8x23.3 (1/2") standard. Choose OEM-spec parts for the best fit, especially if you rely on precise suspension feel and low-friction operation. Also consider the condition of neighboring components: replace worn bushings, seals, or bolts at the same time to avoid repeat service. Keeping a spare hardware kit on hand is a smart move for frequent riders and workshop techs to minimize downtime.
