Looking for some help on my Fox Float RL on a 2003 Enduro Pro.

I have been noticing a small amount of play near the reducer shaft and was wondering if I need to replace the reducer pin or bushings?
Do these wear out within a season or two?

If they need to be replaced, what special tools are required?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

The rear bushings frequently wear out. I'm surprised it lasted this long, you may want to check the rest of the pivots on your bike, they wear too. No special tool but you may need 2 sets of Allen wrenches.

Just as a comment, you should have felt slop in the back of the bike during hard rides along with hearing an occassional clunk sound.
