Noticed quite a bit of play in the shock mount on my 2011 Five with RP 23
I bought some shock bolts from Orange, But I did not get a chance to remove and inspect the old bolts and bushes before going away to work. Thinking about is it likely that the shock bushes also need replacing. If so it would be good to have some waiting for me to get home.

Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction which ones to buy.

These are bolts I bought from Orange

Was thinking of getting a couple of these just in case the bushes were shot as well.

Is there anything else I am likely to need ( ie the outer bush)

cheers

Most likely the play is all from the bushes in the shock eyelet, I use the nylon ones from betd.

TBH it's much more likely that the bushes were worn than the shock bolts. Usual order would be bushes then reducers then (maybe one day) the bolts (or shock eyelet itself if you've been riding on very wonky gear).
