What does a shock absorber rebuild kit do?

A shock absorber rebuild kit replaces worn internal components like seals, bushings, and sometimes the shock body. This restores the shock's ability to properly dampen suspension movement, improving ride quality and handling.

What specific improvements can I expect from this kit?

This kit features updated seals and bushings, including a Teflon® coated bushing for reduced friction and a custom elastomer in the oil seal for better contaminant exclusion. It also includes a guide bushing to dampen top-out.

Does this kit include everything needed to rebuild the rear shock?

Yes, this Pivot Works kit is described as a complete shock rebuild assembly. It includes the aluminum body, O-ring, Teflon® coated bushing, redesigned dust seal, and redesigned double-lip oil seal.

Product Details

The aluminum body in this Pivot Works shock rebuild kit is a key component, designed to house the internal parts of your rear shock absorber. If your Kawasaki KX450F's rear suspension feels worn out or inconsistent, a rebuild kit like this can bring back that responsive feel. It's built to address common issues that arise from wear and tear on your original shock components.

This kit comes with a Teflon® coated bushing, which helps reduce friction and wear inside the shock tube, contributing to smoother operation. You'll also find redesigned dust and double-lip oil seals, using the same custom elastomer material found in Pivot Works fork seals. This means improved sealing to keep contaminants out and oil in, which is crucial for maintaining proper damping performance over time. The internal guide bushing is also included to help dampen top-out, preventing harsh jolts when the suspension fully extends.

Everything you need to get your rear shock absorber back in working order is included, making it a ready-to-install solution. This kit is a solid option for bringing your KX450F's suspension back to life.
