After washing your mountain bike apply a little lubrication spray to the bases of the
rear shocks and to the joints of the connection pieces (a). This provides lubrica-
tion and makes for silent riding. Check the secure mounting of the rear shock to
the frame.
The swing arm runs on sealed plain or grooved ball bearings which are largely
maintenance-free. Using a torque wrench check that the bolted connections secur-
ing the bearings and the lower and upper ends of the rear shock are tightened to
the correct torque which is either printed on the components or given in the chap-
ter “Recommended torques for bolted connections“.
If there is a clicking noise, apply a little spray oil to the area around the
bearings and shock bases. In case the noise does not stop, take your bike
to the FELT dealer.
The dismounting of the rear shock is a job best left to your FELT dealer.
If you want to dismount the rear shock nevertheless, be sure to take good note of
the order in which you remove the parts! Arrange them in a row to avoid mistakes
when reassembling them. Lubricate the sliding bearings and the rear bases with a
non-corrosive resin-free grease when reassembling the rear shock.

During reassembly, observe the recommended maximum torques which
are printed on the components or given in the chapter “Recommended
torques for bolted connections“(b)!
