I'm not sure what to call the part, but there's a "pin" that you have
to use on the top part of the rear shocks. The center part is round
and goes inside the bushing on the end of the shock. The ends are
flat with a slot for the bolt (kinda looks like a Y on the end).
Check out how the rear shocks are mounted on the top and you'll
probably see what I'm talking about.
I got my ES3000s from Summit, and these "pins" were in a separate bag.
Jon and I had an interesting time getting them pushed in to the
bushings.
