[Closed] Lappierre Zesty Bushing Help

Hey, I have a 2011 zesty which has some play in the lower/rearward shock mount but I can't seem to track down the correct part.

I've previously swapped over the bushings for the joint between the seat/chain stays so not concerned about the technical challenge aspect.

The bush in question is sort of top hat shaped and I can't find it online anywhere. Initially I got a standard fox mount kit but it's nothing like what's on there currently.

Help much appreciated from anyone in the know!

Yeah that's the type, i used to fit them quite regularly to bikes in the shop but can't remember the exact size you need, give TFtuned a call with your bike details and they'll know exactly what you need.

EDIT : if you want to slacken the front end then [url= http://www.burgtec.co.uk/category/products/offset-shock-hardware/ ]Burgtec[/url] do offset bushings so you can play about with the head angles.

I've got a Lappierre 2012 X Flow 612 with an RP2 and Fox have changed the old alu style for the ceramic. They do look totally different but are the correct ones. You need a tool to remove the eyelet which you can get cheap on eBay. The ceramic are press fit by hand with no need for any tools.

If you are after either a standard bush or an offset one - you can get them for the bargain price of £10 including 1st class postage from www.offsetbushings.com.

Hope that helps!
