Suspension service parts often look similar, but compatibility depends on exact model details. Whether you're replacing fork wipers or planning a full service, use the manufacturer documentation for your specific fork or shock before ordering.
Identify your suspension precisely
Record the brand, fork or shock model, model year and, when available, serial number or factory identification code. Some models have multiple damper or air-spring generations in the same model year. The correct kit can depend on which assembly is installed, not only the fork's name.
Match the service scope
A lower-leg fork service may involve dust wipers, lubricant or foam rings; a more comprehensive service can require additional damper or spring seals and other internal parts. Rear shocks have their own procedures. Service intervals and included parts vary by component; use the manufacturer's manual rather than assuming one interval applies to every fork.
Check seals, lubricants and specialized tools
Verify seals and wipers against the exact fork or shock model. Confirm required oil type and volume from the manufacturer instructions. Do not substitute lubricants or guess torque values, pressure limits or internal assembly procedures.
Service yourself or use a mechanic?
Some routine external checks are straightforward; disassembling pressurized suspension or servicing dampers may require specialized tools and training. If unsure, use a qualified suspension mechanic and the manufacturer's safety procedures.
