    Rear Shock Absorber Bushes

    Hi All,

    I've got a second hand Koni suspension kit on my Raider & noticed that one of the rubber bushes on the rear Shock Absorber was pushed out of one side when i got the kit but didn't think it was going to be an issue & fitted it to the car & haven't thought about it since.

    However i went out for a ride in the Rader today & the rear shock on the offside was squeaking like a bugger

    I figure that maybe the rubber bushing has perished now so the metal insert is rubbing on the chassis somewhere??

    Is it possible to replace the bushes in the shock absorber itself or is it time for me to hunt down another set of rear shock absorbers??

    I tried to straighten up the bush once before by jacking it across with a long bolt & a socket & it wasn't having any of it??

    Any ideas geezers?
