Santa Cruz Pivot Axle Kit

This kit is precision-engineered specifically for the Santa Cruz Blur 4 and the Wilder 1 models. It is not compatible with other Santa Cruz frames, so please verify your bike model before purchasing.

No, this kit is designed for straightforward home maintenance. You can install it using standard shop tools, though we always recommend using a torque wrench to ensure every fastener is tightened to the manufacturer's exact specifications.

Over time, pivot hardware can develop micro-wear or fatigue that leads to suspension play, which grease alone cannot fix. Replacing the collet axles and fasteners restores the original tolerances of your frame, eliminating unwanted movement and ensuring your suspension performs exactly as intended.

The kit features a mix of 7075 and 6061 aluminum alongside stainless steel fasteners. This combination provides the necessary strength to handle high suspension loads while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring the hardware remains reliable even in wet or muddy riding conditions.

Yes, this is a comprehensive hardware replacement kit. It includes the specific collet axles, washers, and screws required to service the pivot points on the compatible Blur 4 and Wilder 1 frames, so you won't need to source individual parts separately.
