I am looking at replacing the rubber bushings on my 34 Super 8. I see that Steele offers new rubber bushings. The dimensions do not seem to match what I see with my original links. The thru-bolt on my shock links has a tapered section that fits into the taper in the shock arm. It appears that my rubber bushings inside diameter is larger that the 5/8" shown on the Steele bushings. I am reluctant to disassemble my links, as they are still serviceable, until I can confirm that the new Steele bushings will indeed work. Does anyone have experience with changing these rubber bushings, with some photos?
