Motorcycle Shock Rebound Adjuster Parts

Right in the centre of your motorbike's coilover is the main damping shaft. At the top end it holds the piston inside the shock absorber body while at the bottom end it screws onto the Clevis or Yoke.

A clevis has a split fork of two tabs with a gap between them (like the diagram shown), while a yoke has just one wide ring sticking down (much like the top of a shock body).

If your damper has rebound adjustment you will usually find it inside this end eye assembly. Small clicker parts like rubber seal o-rings & angled end needles are inside, with tuning knobs or nuts on the outside. Find out how to adjust those clickers correctly in our DIY damping setup guide. The complete reb adjuster bolt assembly presses the damping piston shim stack via a pushrod that slides inside the main shock shaft.

Tiny internals like push rods, collars, guides & bushes keep the rod components sliding smoothly, and we sell each item individually - you would be amazed how many people think you have to throw out worn shocks - you can rebuild with new components!

We sell damper shafts differently depending on what needs servicing - bare chromed tubes with no internals, assembled damping shaft with internal parts pre-installed or save time with a full assembly - the complete shaft bolted to the clevis or yoke (plus all rebound adjuster internals).

Once you've rebuilt your bike's shock, remember to service the bearings & grease seals for the rear swingarm or suspension link before you install it, or that rebound damping is just fighting crunchy friction.
