FAQs

How do I know if this bolt fits my specific bike?

Check your bike's original parts manual or the technical specifications section on the Vitus website to confirm compatibility with the '64' bolt kit.

Should I use Loctite on this bolt?

Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for your specific frame model. If a thread-locker is required, use a light-strength (blue) formula unless otherwise specified.

How often should I replace the lower shock bolt?

It is good practice to inspect it during every full suspension service or whenever you remove the rear shock for maintenance.

Does this kit include a nut or spacers?

The kit is designed to provide the specific bolt hardware required for the lower shock mount. Always consult your bike's exploded view diagram to see if additional hardware or washers are required.

Can I use this on a non-Vitus mountain bike?

No, this bolt is specifically engineered for Vitus suspension systems and may not have the correct thread pitch or length for other brands.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is difficult to thread into the frame linkage

Stop immediately, remove the bolt, clean the threads with a degreaser, and ensure the shock eyelet is perfectly aligned with the frame mounting holes.

Persistent clicking noise after installation

Verify the bolt is torqued to the correct spec and check if the shock bushings or reducers require replacement, as they may be the source of the noise.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exact factory-spec dimensions for easy installation
  • High-grade material durability for mountain bike conditions
  • Restores suspension performance and safety
  • Reliable replacement for worn original hardware

Cons

  • Compatibility limited to specific Vitus models
  • Requires specific torque wrench for correct installation
  • Not intended for non-Vitus suspension systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the bolt, start by securing the bike in a repair stand. Remove the old, worn bolt and clear any debris from the suspension linkage housing. Thread the new bolt in by hand initially to ensure it is not cross-threaded, then use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten it to the manufacturer’s recommended specification for your specific Vitus frame.

Care Instructions:

  • Regularly inspect the bolt head for signs of deformation.
  • Check for proper torque during your pre-ride safety inspection.
  • Clean the area around the shock mount after muddy or wet rides to prevent dirt from grinding into the threads.
