Yes, you are confused.
The '84/85 FJs used bushings in the swing arm linkage. In '86 Yamaha converted over to needle bearings, a better solution.
This has nothing to do with your shock. This is the linkage to your swing arm.
If you want to do this, you can look up the part #s by going to this site and looking up the '86 FJ info.

Hey Chiz
I went to Canadian bearing in Hamilton last week for needle bearings for my f4i shock mod and they dont have them and cant get them.

S-I-E
what are you going to do make a bush or something???

[fuel80guy]

Im going to look for other local bearing suppliers and if that doesnt work buy some online.

Not sure this will help but this is what I used when I did the F4i conversion to fit the 12mm bolt. (1990FJ)

I had to "machine" open the eye slightly with a dowel and some emery cloth.
