Ok so I finally go my shock serviced and put back in the bike. But today while I was in the garage I found a small needle bearing on the ground can a bearing just fall out when you are removing the shock and putting i back in the bike? Confused here because the bearings are fairly new in the linkage.

be sure to check them all to make sure no gaps. You could of dropped more then one. Yea just grease usually holds em in place.

You can prevent that by putting the sleeve and bolt back in the linkage until you put the shock back in.

if you need to buy a new bearing might I suggest pivot works, they are $3.49
