Well I have a Manitou Swinger 4 way and need a new adapter to fit it onto the bike, now is there any difference between Bushings and Reducers? The bike shop said they have reducers but no bushings. Also is there a cheaper alternative I need a m8x51/52mm and almost no LBS carries any Manitou parts and the ones that said they might be able to get it said it would cost 30$, I also looked online a bit and found 2, one selling for 11$ but 23$ shipping and another with 20$ and 23$ shipping :(.

Yes, there is a difference. Here is a helpful image I found with a quick Google image search.

Try calling Manitou and ordering what you need. A complete set of bushings and reducers + two replacement bushings for my Fox Float was under $25 with shipping when I ordered it from them.



Here is a Fox RP23 with the bushings installed....


And one with bushings and reducers installed....
