Specialized Bushing Help

[Edog]

I need to find the Bushing sizes for my 2006 Specialized Enduro Elite. I'm switching out the rearshock & need some help.
Thanks

I would think someone here could tell you but I would say go to your local hardware store or Harbor Freight (if you have one close) and pick up a vernier caliper and just measure the bushings. You may be able to borrow some at yer LBS or if you have a friend with a caliper just to measure if you do not want to buy them.

If you do buy, you can a digital one, like the one on the bottom, for about 20$ and it will do the job. They do come in handy a lot.

Enduro's don't use DU bushings on the shocks.

What type of shock are you mounting up?

It depends on the rear shock.
Like DBD said, measure the width with the bushings on and then buy new bushings for the new shock to match.
Search for "shock mount hardware" at adrenaline bikes.com

I'm going to install the Rock Shock Pearl 3.1 it has less adjustments then the DHX 5, but I just wasn't loving that at all even after a rebuild. It was bottoming out & I had the the boost all the way in, it felt like I needed more pressure which I couldn't add. I see from mtbr you are trying the Roco TST. Does that fit?
I really wanted the Roco Air, but they are all gone at this point.

I sold my ROCO TST before I ever got it bolted up. However, I did see an Enduro at the bike shop with a ROCO TST bolted up. No reservoir clearance problems. The person was running the slack shuttle.

Another option would be purchasing a 8.5 x 2.5 Float R from a Nomad, Heckler, Blur LT2 and have it PUSH'ed. I might go that route.

Ya I just got done reading that whole thread on Empty, I really like the stuff I've had from Rock Shox lately, I am toying with the Vivid if I can get it to fit. Are you still using the DHX Air or did you switch over to Vanilla?
I was running the AM 1 Air fork up front, I felt it had a lot of felx, & I Don't leave the ground much either! I just sold that I think I'm going with the Manitou Elite coil 145, I'd like the 160 but I can't swing that right now.
