KONA Process X/153 Lower Shock Bolt Assembly

No, this specific assembly is only compatible with the 2021-2022 Process X and the 2023 Process 153 CR and CR/DL models. Always verify your frame's model year and specific build before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

You should consider replacing the bolt if you notice any play or knocking sounds coming from the shock mount area, or if the bolt threads appear stripped or damaged during routine maintenance. Any movement in this connection point can compromise your suspension's performance and potentially damage the frame.

Yes, this is a complete lower shock bolt assembly designed to replace the existing hardware at the lower shock mount. It is engineered to factory tolerances to ensure a secure, precise fit right out of the package.

Yes, it is standard practice to apply a small amount of medium-strength thread locker to the threads during installation. This helps prevent the bolt from vibrating loose over time due to the high forces experienced by the rear suspension.

We strongly advise against using generic hardware. This bolt is specifically engineered to meet Kona's exact tolerances and material strength requirements for the Process suspension linkage, ensuring safety and proper suspension kinematics.
