SHOWA fork slide (slider) bushing for servicing and restoring smooth front suspension action. Ideal when rebuilding forks to reduce stiction and unwanted play.
Restore smooth, precise fork performance with a genuine SHOWA slide (slider) bushing. This fork bushing is a key wear component inside the fork assembly—when it wears, you can experience increased play, harshness, and inconsistent suspension action. Replacing it during a fork service helps bring back the controlled, low-friction movement your suspension was designed to deliver.
Whether you’re doing routine maintenance or a full fork rebuild, fitting a fresh slide bushing is a smart way to reduce stiction, improve small-bump compliance, and keep your front end feeling planted and predictable.
