Specialized XC Pro 2007 eating DU Bushings on a Fox Triad – any suggestions?

My mate has a Specialized XC Pro 2007 and he has to replace the bushings on his Fox Triad every 3 months or so….
He has replaced the hollowlink on the frame but it hasnt made a difference. £28 every 3 months for a bush kit is getting a bit of a joke!
Can any one suggest a solution? Other than a new frame!!! Are there any different bush kits available?

Goldtec / BETD do some that are Ment to last longer as might tf tunded

My old enduro has a roller bearing thing that replaced the bush and worked well for me
That also came from betd

The bushes on there own are far cheaper than £28.00

its the lower shock bush that goes iirc at best i got 6mths use out of mine ’05 version.

have a look at betd for a cheaper hula-hoop

Yup it is the lower shock bushing.
Thanks folks I will try BETD and TF to see what they offer.

I had the same problem on my reign,every 5 ish rides start to get play in DU shock bush.I bought a “heavy duty” bush kit from J-TECH suspension .Basicaly a solid stainless steel shaft and plastic looking bush,intsead of the 2 alloy top hats.been fine ever since and would recomend it.Give J-TECH a call and he’ll sort u out.

BETD strong bush plus hula hoop bush FTW!
