Product Details

Overview & Technology

RockShox Shock Hardware 8X44.5 is a direct-fit rear shock mounting kit built to OEM specifications (Manufacturer Part #: 11.4118.091.846, SRAM Model ID: RS-SPP-A0). This three-piece set replaces worn or damaged hardware to restore the factory fit and alignment of your rear shock. The kit uses precision-machined components finished for corrosion resistance. The 8x44.5 designation denotes an 8 mm pin diameter and a 44.5 mm axle length; the 1/2'' refers to the three-piece assembly style for 1/2" style mounting points. The parts are designed for long-term cycling use — lightweight yet stiff to maintain suspension kinematics and reduce side-to-side play under load.

Key Features & Benefits

Durable construction: machined spacer components and a corrosion-resistant sleeve offer dependable service life even in wet, muddy conditions. The kit minimizes creaks and maintains consistent alignment for predictable suspension performance. • OEM compatibility: replaces RockShox/SRAM RS-SPP-A0 specified hardware for easy ordering and correct fit. • Lightweight: engineered to keep unsprung mass low while retaining stiffness. • Precision sizing: 8 mm diameter / 44.5 mm length for accurate axle engagement and secure clamping.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation Notes

This kit is intended for rear shock eyelets that accept 8 mm pin hardware and require a 44.5 mm axle length; it matches the RockShox OEM geometry for many rear shocks. Always verify your shock and frame service manual or measure your existing hardware before ordering to confirm 8x44.5 is the correct size. Installation is straightforward for a competent home mechanic or shop tech: remove the old hardware, clean the eyelets, fit the three-piece assembly, and torque to the values specified by your shock or bike manufacturer. Use a light coating of anti-seize or recommended interface compound if required by the manufacturer, and replace any worn bushings at the same time for a noise-free fit.

Who This Is For

Mountain bikers, mechanics, and shops needing an OEM-quality replacement for RockShox rear shock mounts will value this kit. It's ideal for riders who service their own bikes, racers who demand consistent suspension action, and anyone restoring an older or high-mileage shock to factory spec. If you ride regularly in harsh conditions (mud, rain, salty roads) or you hear play/knock at the shock eyelets, replacing the hardware with this RockShox kit is a small investment that restores performance and extends the life of your shock and frame pivots.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 8x44.5 mean for this shock hardware?

8x44.5 indicates an 8 mm pin diameter and a 44.5 mm axle length. This sizing determines whether the hardware will correctly span your shock eyelets and seat flush in both the shock and frame mounts. Always measure existing hardware or consult your shock/frame documentation before ordering.

Is this RockShox kit compatible with other brands of shocks or frames?

The kit was manufactured to RockShox/SRAM OEM specs (RS-SPP-A0) and will fit any shock/frame combination that accepts 8 mm pin hardware with a 44.5 mm length. Compatibility depends on matching those dimensions — the brand of shock is secondary to the physical measurements.

Do I need special tools to install this hardware?

No specialized tools are required beyond basic bike service tools. You should have appropriate hex or torx keys for the mounting bolt, a torque wrench to apply manufacturer-recommended torque, and optionally anti-seize or a light grease. If bushings are pressed in, consider a bushing driver or have a shop handle replacement.

Can I reuse my old bushings with this new hardware?

You can reuse bushings if they are in good condition, but we recommend inspecting them closely for wear, flattening, or cracking. Replacing worn bushings at the same time ensures a precision fit and eliminates play that can cause accelerated wear on new hardware.

What maintenance does this hardware require?

Routine inspection for movement, corrosion, or damage is recommended, especially after harsh rides. Keep mating surfaces clean and lightly lubricated as specified by your shock manufacturer. Replace hardware if you notice play, fretting, or deformation.

Is this the correct part for my RockShox shock? (part number check)

This kit corresponds to RockShox part number 11.4118.091.846 and SRAM model ID RS-SPP-A0. If your service manual or parts list calls out either identifier and lists 8x44.5 geometry, this is the correct replacement. When in doubt, measure your existing hardware or contact Forest Bikes for help verifying fit.

Buying Guide

When choosing rear shock mounting hardware, the two most important factors are the pin diameter and the axle length — in this case, 8 mm and 44.5 mm respectively. Always match those dimensions to your existing hardware or to the specifications listed in your shock and frame owner's manuals. OEM part numbers (here: 11.4118.091.846 / RS-SPP-A0) remove guesswork and ensure correct geometry. Also consider materials and finish: machined spacers with corrosion-resistant sleeves give the best combination of stiffness, low weight, and longevity. Replace worn bushings at the same time and follow torque specs to avoid creaks and premature wear.
