- Pivot type
- Match the pivot: ball stud versus shaft or trunnion pivot Forks are not interchangeable across pivot designs.
- Bearing engagement
- The fork fingers and retaining clip must match the release bearing collar A mismatch causes bearing cocking, noise and incomplete release.
- Inspection
