I am looking for sources or kits for bushing kits for the front Fox Qs3r shocks. Piecing them out online OEM parts (sleeves, bushings, collars) is like $144 USD per shock which I find absurd!
There must be a complete kit somewhere for this. Shocks are in good shape but I have play in these bushings on the eyelets (IE when the sled is in air, I can feel and see the play moving the ski up and down).

Check out epi bushings
The sleeves are probably still good

Yeah they have play even new. Just make sure bolts are tight and lube the metal bushings with a heavy grease or antisieze. Spindle bushing at skis especially. Those are aluminum and wear quickly.

I spent a lot of money changing all my shock bushings with OEM and there was still play afterwards, next time I wouldn’t even bother.

Same boat. I wonder if @Mainway Solutions has something. Val makes great products but I have not seen shock bushings for our Fox shocks.


I don’t think so but never asked. Just fully outfitted my sled with all his bushings. Nice stuff!Same boat. I wonder if @Mainway Solutions has something. Val makes great products but I have not seen shock bushings for our Fox shocks.
