|   Fox Float bushing/reducer question | eric wictor
Aug 9, 2002 9:26 AM | | I'm trying to find out what part of my suspension is making the awful noises...
Are the aluminium reducers meant to rotate in the shock's eyelets, or should the be completely fixed? |
| They should be able to move slightly but... | Metroid

The DU bushings are Teflon coated brass. Eventually it wears off and works into the brass. It's only about $10 for a complete set of DU bushings and reducers. It should only take a few minutes with a vice and a couple sockets to replace them. |
| Thanks, I think the problem may lie there... | eric wictor
