Product Details

Overview & Technology

RockShox Shock Hardware 8X23.8 is a 3-piece rear shock mounting kit designed to restore a precise, rattle-free connection between your frame and rear shock. This OEM-style assembly includes a central machined sleeve and two outer components engineered to control movement and keep loads centered through the shock eyelet. The hardware is built for durability and repeatable alignment on modern mountain bikes. The construction combines a precision-machined sleeve with corrosion-resistant end components and integrated bushings, delivering predictable performance under high loads and varied trail conditions. Small but critical, this hardware maintains suspension kinematics and prevents accelerated wear of the shock and frame eyelets.

Key Features & Benefits

Exact fit and OEM compatibility: Produced to RockShox tolerances and listed under SRAM model ID RS-SPP-A0 and manufacturer part 11.4118.091.812, this kit ensures correct fit for shocks that specify 8X23.8 hardware. Real-world benefits include reduced play and noise at the shock mount, improved longevity of bushings and bearings, and consistent handling as the suspension moves through its travel. The compact 3-piece design is simple to install and replaces worn or damaged hardware quickly to get you back on the trail.

Fit, Specs & Compatibility

The 8X23.8 spec refers to the hardware's nominal eyelet diameter and length; measure your shock eyelet to confirm compatibility before purchase. This product is a 3-piece 1/2" mounting hardware assembly intended for RockShox rear shocks and other rear shocks that list 8x23.8 hardware or reference SRAM RS-SPP-A0 or part number 11.4118.091.812. Typical installation uses a 1/2" mounting bolt; always use the mounting torque recommended by your shock or frame manufacturer. If in doubt, check your shock's service manual or contact our tech support with your shock model and year for confirmation.

Who This Is For

Mountain bikers and mechanics who need an OEM replacement for worn, corroded, or noisy rear shock mounts will appreciate this RockShox kit. It's ideal for riders rebuilding a suspension, replacing seized hardware after long-term exposure, or refreshing a used shock before resale. Trail, all-mountain and enduro riders who want to maintain crisp suspension performance without replacing the entire shock or frame linkage will find this an affordable, effective maintenance part.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 8X23.8 mean and how do I measure my shock?

8X23.8 indicates the nominal diameter (8 mm) and length (23.8 mm) of the mounting hardware. Measure the internal diameter and depth of the shock eyelet or compare to your existing hardware to confirm a match. If you are unsure, check your shock's parts list or provide your shock model to our tech team for verification.

Is this the complete kit or do I need extra bushings or spacers?

This product is the complete 3-piece mounting hardware assembly as supplied by RockShox for the specified application. Some frames or shocks may also use separate seals, crush washers, or dust covers; inspect your current setup and the shock manufacturer's service manual to see if additional parts are required.

Can I use this hardware with non-RockShox shocks?

Yes, if the replacement hardware dimensions and bolt size match your shock's specifications. The critical factors are diameter, length, and bolt clearance. Always verify measurements or consult the shock manufacturer to avoid mismatches that could affect suspension performance or safety.

What tools and torque should I use to install this hardware?

Installation typically requires common hand tools to remove the mounting bolt and press the old hardware out, plus a press or vise for reassembly if bushings are tight. Use the torque values specified by your shock or frame manufacturer for the mounting bolt; do not over-torque as that can crush the sleeve or damage the shock eyelet.

How long will new mounting hardware last?

Service life depends on riding conditions, maintenance, and exposure to water and grit. Fresh, OEM-quality hardware reduces play and wear, often lasting several seasons under normal trail use. Inspect mounts during routine service and replace them if you notice movement, corrosion, or play.

Is this part returnable if it doesn't fit my shock?

Return policies vary by seller; Forest Bikes accepts returns according to our standard returns policy as long as parts are unused and in original condition. If you need help confirming fit before purchase, contact our support team with your shock and frame details and we’ll assist.

Buying Guide

When replacing rear shock mounting hardware, prioritize exact dimensions, OEM cross-references, and corrosion-resistant construction. Measure your eyelet diameter and length carefully, and match the part to the shock's service parts list or SRAM/RockShox model ID to avoid fitment issues. Choose a direct OEM replacement for guaranteed tolerances, or a high-quality aftermarket kit with compatible specifications. Regular inspection during shock service will keep mounts from introducing play, noise, or premature wear to your suspension system.
