MILO Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 i've seen several referrals to you for shock questions, so here it goes. do you have replacement bushings for Works triple's w/o rezzies? I talked to somebody at works this evening to order some new ones. i've gotten new ones once before and they were a little different than what was orginally on them. the original bottom was 2 steel bushings w/rubber o-rings and a thin sleeve over them on the inner part. upper was a straight urethane bushing with a spacer on each side and a steel sleeve center. the first replacements i was sent was a 2 piece urethane bushings that look like a top hat with thinner spacers and a steel sleeve center. others were just a straight urethane bushing with a steel sleeve and spacers. the guy at works seemed to be giving me the 2 steel bushings with o-rings this time, and the straight urethane with spacers for the other. what's the deal? the straight urethane with the sleeve and spacers seem to work top or bottom and is a lot cheaper, any reason why you can't run this set up instead?? thanks.

Shane Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) In the suspension business it seems the more you know the less you know. I personally have a bunch of questions for Works but in the end I believe they are focused on bring an affordable shock to market. So, here is what I think. The top set up will not work on the bottom because the bottom moves more and it won't be able to hold up. It needs that reinforcement. It would probably be alright for a short time and you seem to stay on top of your maintainence more than others. I've seen quite a few of the Works bottom eyelets rounded out due to the owner not staying on top of maintainence. We should be able to get these parts for you.
