    Worn suspension bushes?

    My warrant failed because they're worn.
    I've taken the shock and the y-shaped yoke thingy (what's it called?) out, and the bushes on the yoke are worn to shit.

    Do I buy new bushes or get them fixed like a cars engine mounts?

    Price a bush kit. Both genuine and after market via a reputable bike shop that deals in the "All Balls" kits, (they may do one for your bike), if that fails, head down the other path/s. MHO

    If you can't get an all balls kit you could try a bearing shop. You should be able to get OEM parts but the cost may be horrible. The Y shaped thingy is the rising rate linkage.

    Use the proper bushings, albeit genuine or cheap but lower quality aftermarket. Dont rebush with nolathane, the self aligning properties are almost zilch and anything that creates sidethrust on a shock shaft is bad.
