NEED new upper rubber for Springs

[terakilla]

I need new rubber bushings for my shocks, I have one thats partially intact, the other ones completely gone, so it was metal on metal. Cant find them on BikeBandit or CheapCycleParts, I really dont want to spend 300 bucks for new shocks, I think I can carve new bushings, but thats a pain, so any help would be pretty awesome, thanks.

The rubbers out of a set of auto shocks should be able to be fitted.I would be inclined to take a walk around a scrap yard.

Good idea, but what kind of condition will rubber bushings be out of a junk yard?

The bushings normally don't wear much in a car.Mostly the shock is worn out and the bushings are still good.I have been around older vehicle all my life and have only seen a couple of vehicles with worn out bushings.Worn shock bushings are usually a result of loose mounts,letting the shock move up and down.

Well, you won't know if you don't look......!!
Everything in a "junk yard" is not junk.

Might want to check with a bike shop or three; they might have some old shocks laying around......or might have saved some bushings for just this reason.

I tried to look up the shock/spring in an online fische.......but couldn't find either. Odd.

The shock is available at Ron Ayers new for $168 a piece. Rear Shocks

Here is a used set on eBay for a $40 buy now. Used Rear Shocks

Also, have you checked our Parts For Sale thread? There are several bikes being (or were being) parted out.

Good Luck.
