On KAWASAKI KX 125, KX 250, KX 500 1988, the PROX 26.450041 shock bearing kit fits in place of the original part. The shock is mounted at both ends on bearings or spherical bearings. Seized or worn, they create play and hold the shock back: the rear end becomes harsh and the suspension loses its sensitivity.
