    Can you put a mic on the bearing and get mm measurements on OD, ID and thickness?

    I think I paid $75 for that bearing.... It is a spherical bearing

    Converting the price from UK pounds to US dollars they want $194 for a pair of them and I think thats madness !!! I can buy white power / kayaba items for less than $40 so will press one out and measure it and pop round the local bearing shop to try and match one up
    Not paying that sort of money for a spherical bearing ! I would rather machine the shocks to suit something else as I really do think thats taking the piss

    Are you talking about the bolt and collar bearing on the top shock pivot where it mounts to the frame? If so mine had slight play, Husqvarnna dealers here want $170 AUD! I am waiting till it breaks or until u find a suitable replacement :) .
