BSA Silentbloc bushes, swinging arm
Silentbloc bush for the rear swinging arm pivot.
This is a Silentbloc bush for the swinging arm, the bonded-rubber bushing that lets the rear fork pivot while damping out road noise and vibration before it reaches the frame. It shows up in swinging arm figures in our catalog records spanning 1969 to 1970.

The swinging arm pivots on these bushes where it bolts to the frame, so they take the brunt of the up-and-down motion the rear suspension sees every time you hit a bump. Worn or perished bushes show up as vague, wallowy handling out back, or a knocking feeling under braking and acceleration.
