Hey everyone I recently picked up an F4i that needed some work. It has a lowering link on it and while going over the bike I noticed that the bolt that attaches it to the engine goes all the way through the lowering link and out the other side. Now I've done a little bit of research and it seems like I'm missing like a collar that goes around the bolt. I found this site and it shows a diagram of the rear suspension and from what I can tell I need number 7. Also there is no kind of bushing or bearing in the drop link at all just like a brass insert. Do i need a bushing or bearing or does it just ride on the brass? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
