A very generous member of this board recently gave me a set of 412 progressive shocks - I plan to mount them soon.  Where would I go to buy bushings and what exactly to ask for?

Thanks.

Gary passed...

The OEM bushings work OK, I don't think they cost much... they wear out quick though...

A supporting vendor sells ones that are supposed to be good and last a long time...

I believe that if you have Progressive shocks...you have to use the Progressive bushings.  They don't cross to the stock parts.

you can call Progressive Suspension tech support and order a new set of bushings.  Last time I did this they sent them for free, but I have 440s with lifetime warranty and the original purchase receipt.

Worth a try...

If anyone wants to give me some progressive shocks, it would be O.K.
